Dave has started an album featuring female singers performing songs based on his unused demo's from the 70s - 2000's. It is a dance album of various styles, the                 title is Aurora.



BEARZ were formed in 1979 by David Gunstone and John Goddard, they wrote one song each and enlisted the help of Mark Willis on drums and David Lord on Keyboards to record two songs. David Lord produced both songs at Crescent studio in Bath. Originally we were going to be called "The Bears" but when we were offered a record contract we were informed that the name was already in use by another band. Peter Kent suggested using BEARZ, to which we agreed, "She's my girl" and "Girls will do" was released in January 1980 on Axis Records which became 4AD. The single was later released in Italy on WEA Italia in a collection of records "The Sound Of The 80's", that included artists like Visage and Gary Newman.
