Semi-professional musician and songwriter, lifelong Spurs fan, Beatle freak and avid Tolkien fan, David combines his personal time through music, reading and watching Spurs currently having a good season(!)

David plays in a local covers band (Sultana) and is active in the local music scene.

When not playing David enjoys listening to music, composing and, when not doing that he will be engrossed in a good book!

He is developing a keen interest in cooking and has so far failed to poison himself and the friends brave enough to try his concoctions.
