is a brilliant young guitarist, singer & songwriter who recently graduated
from the Newcastle University traditional music degree course. He's currently
touring with the distinguished fiddler Tom McConville & also US fiddler
& singer Christi Andropolis. He's recorded with Rubus & also Sandra
Kerr.
David’s
unique style mixes folk, rock and roll, blues, slide and a tiny bit of jazz.
Using a mix of flatpick and fingerstyle, he’s keen to draw as much from the
instrument as possible, and not limit it to one genre. In his hands, the guitar
is tastefully and artfully pushed as far as it will go when accompanying
himself or others.
