“The sustained brilliance of this playing is really something to behold.”

Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2

"There's some real swagger to this"

Mark Radcliffe BBC Radio 2 Folk Show

“Songs that rattle with the ghosts of Appalachian folk, and southern blues, yet sound emphatically English.”

Uncut Magazine

“Old before his years country-folk fellow who mixes intricate John Fahey finger-picking with confessional tales of dirty old Leeds”

The Guardian

David’s playing is seeped in the tradition of American folk and blues guitar, from the rags of Blind Blake and Reverend Gary Davis, to the delta blues of Robert Johnson and Charley Patton. He is also an accomplished harmonica player in the country blues tradition of Sonny Boy Williamson I and Sonny Terry.
