Band Projects
Since taking up bass guitar as a teenager and the raucous gigs which ensued, David has found immense pleasure in writing and performing music with others. He has been a founder and integral member a number of bands. These collaborations, and just as importantly, the friendships surrounding them, have lasted years ( sometimes decades ) and resulted in numerous releases.
