Location: Haverhill, Suffolk
About me...

I started playing guitar at the age of 13 and formed a group with friends at School. I have maintained my interest in playing guitar and have performed with a variety of bands right up to the present day. I am a Music Industry professional having spent my working career in the music equipment sector, so expect some quality name dropping during the talk!

About my Talk...

I offer two talks both based on my experiences in bands and a career in the music industry.

The first is called ‘The Semi-Pro Sixties’ and is based on how I started playing the guitar and those formative experiences in the early sixties playing in groups. Based on my book of the same name this talk is packed with funny stories and amusing recollections of those exciting times.

The second talk is called ‘Songs and Stories From The Sixties’ where I sing and play songs from the early sixties onwards. I also talk about my career in the music industry – expect lots of inside info as I tell previously untold stories on what really goes on behind the scenes!

Fee:

The starting fee is £60. Travel up to 10 miles from Haverhill Suffolk is free. After that there will be a charge for expenses. I am happy to travel to Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Kent, Hertfordshire & London however, if the venue is further afield, please contact me to discuss.

Testimonials & Reviews

‘David appeared at the Arts Centre Haverhill, he was very entertaining and we really enjoyed his talk. He mentioned a few pubs and clubs I remembered from my time of living in the east end of London and bought back some happy memories.
We hope to see him again next time.’
