Dave Martins - Guitar / Vocals

A Guyanese "country boy" from the small village of Hague, in Guyana, Dave came to Canada as part of the large immigration wave that began in the mid-50's. He began his full-time music career with his own group "The Latins", later "The Debonairs", playing the nightclub circuit in Ontario and the Midwestern U.S.A from the early 1960's to 1963. He later signed as a song-writer for BMI Canada in 1963, still playing on weekends with the West Indian house band at the Club Tropics in downtown Toronto. In 1966, he formed the Tradewinds, and went back to being a full-time musician.

Clive Rosteing - Drums / Vocals

Born in Barataria, Trinidad, Clive played with steelbands and as part of a combo with the respected guitarist Ansell Wyatt. In 1965 he moved to Toronto and began developing his musical skills with the very accomplished "Undergrads" combo. When the Tradewinds original drummer, Kelvin Ceballo, got tired of the road life in 1970, Clive was selected to take over the band's drum throne and has held it since.

Harry Cupid - Percussion / Vocals

Born in St.Vincent and raised in Barbados, Harry, another immigrant to Toronto, joined the Tradewinds at their popular nightclub "We Place" in Toronto as an occasional sideman, to became a full-time member of the group in 1976.
