Hailing from the village of Wanlockhead in Dumfries and Galloway Dave is a superb guitarist with a style that is as distinctive as it is effective. He has a voice that can carry traditional and contemporary songs and a songwriting ability that produces songs ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous.

An established performer throughout the acoustic/folk club, festival and concert scene, Dave is a storyteller and is determined to maintain the art of storytelling through song. Musically he draws on both traditional and contemporary sources, especially the finger picking styles of the heroes.

He likes a giggle.
