David has an enormous repertoire of folksong from both sides
of the Atlantic. He has performed throughout his native Britain and North
America at festivals, clubs, and colleges, singing songs from the great days
of sail, Music Hall favorites, traditional ballads, and the works of contemporary
writers. He sings both a capella and with guitar or concertina accompaniment
and involves his audience in refrains and choruses ranging from boisterous
to sentimental. David has played feature roles in both Equity and non-Equity
theatrical productions, and his training as a structural engineer has led
him to many ports of call in the United States as well as a four-year sojourn
in East Africa.
As well as performing solo, David sings with Tom Gibney
and Heather Wood in Poor Old Horse.

and yet powerful singing." - Come for to Sing
