2) - David King (born 11 December 1961 in Limerick) is an Irish and American singer, musician and songwriter. He is currently a member of the band Flogging Molly, of which he is a founding member. He first gained notability as the original lead singer of hard rock band Fastway in the 1980s.
King's professional career began in the early 1980s when he was hired as the vocalist for Fastway, an English hard rock band formed by ex-Motörhead guitarist Fast Eddie Clarke and ex-UFO bassist Pete Way in 1983. They recorded their first four records with King on vocals, as well as a live record. In 1985, Fastway was approached to make the soundtrack for the heavy metal horror film, Trick or Treat. The film flopped, but the soundtrack re-established Fastway as a hard-hitting metal band. The success of the soundtrack, combined with the little money the band received, caused in-fighting, and the group disbanded. King took most of the band with him and started Q.E.D., a more AOR-styled outfit. They released a two-track single.
When Fastway was ostensibly disbanded (Eddie carried on the name with all new members), King formed Katmandü with Mandy Meyer (former member of the band Krokus) and Mike Alonso, (former member of the Detroit-based band Speedball), who released one self-titled album. The band had a couple of minor hits but later disbanded.
King retained a record deal with Epic records, who wanted him to sing for Jeff Beck, but he declined. He started working with forming the band Flogging Molly, with new material that had a distinct Irish sound, but still retaining the hard driving, loud and fast musical style. He asked to be let out of his Epic contract because "they wouldn't know what to do with the new music anyways..." Since then, Flogging Molly has reached position No. 4 on the Billboard charts top 200 and a No. 1 on the Billboard Indie Chart.

@namnoiz
Never heard of Dave King but i can say he sure can sing !
@argaretbea
Thought I'd never ever find this again so thank you loads for bringing it back to me. The memory is of a lad called Peter in Burnley with whom I spent the evening that year. I was 20 years old. All the girls fancied him so it was a really special night, and one I knew wouldn't be repeated as he had so much choice. I shut my eyes just now, played back my mental video, and wondered what on earth happened to him. Bless.
