Dave Robinson
Flooring Technician/Remediator
Suburb: Kirwan.
AKA: Matrix.
I’m renowned for: Being a very versatile musician, playing various instruments, always honest and up front with everyone, never back down from a challenge.
Only a local would know… how much I put into everything I do.
My most memorable holiday was… a trip to China in 2010. I don’t think I’ve ever spent so much time shopping, as well as meeting some of the loveliest people on this planet.
Right now I wish I was… in Melbourne, performing in an originals band with like-minded musicians, and making a living out of it.
My favourite day is: Definitely Saturday, that’s my music night, and when I get to let my hair down.
The biggest influence in my life is: My mum and dad, always encouraged me to follow my dreams, and taught me the good morals of life. And they’re always there for me and my brothers.
The funniest thing that ever happened to me was… having my head in the wrong place at the wrong time. In the late ‘80s I was in a heavy metal band. We were on our big finale number. We’d three 44 gallon drums set up on stage full of pyrotechnics. I decided to do the big guitar hero pose on the last note of the last song. Unfortunately it was right over one of the drums, explosions went off, and I lost both eyebrows, eye lashes and half my hair. It seems funny now.
Someone famous I met was: Russell Morris, many times.
My motto is: It’s hard to soar like an eagle when you work with turkeys.
