Hello, welcome to my website. These pages offer news and information on my work as recording artist and music teacher. I am thankful to my good friends Mark & Mary Fleeson on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne who do the real work of designing and construction of this site. I do hope you will find this site useful. I would invite musicians and pupils to visit the links (under the heading Useful Organisations). Here you will find music shops & organisations that I personally use and would recommend. I feel prompted to start my account of how the band & project IONA came into being. I shall start assembling this soon and so do click the link (Iona) to check on progress (and maybe give me a nudge if things are progressing too slowy!). Also, do visit Mark & Mary's Lindisfarne Scriptorium website and discover what amazing creativity is taking place on Holy Island today: http://lindisfarne-scriptorium.co.uk/
Thanks for visiting, David

TuitionFor tuition work there are pages of information on my private teaching practice and work within schools. There is also a diary for this current term. I am a full registered member of both the ISM (Incorporated Society Of Musicians) & the Musician's Union. I promote and follow the Syllabus for Woodwind examinations produced by the world's most reliable and respected exam board, the ABRSM (Associated Board Of The Royal Schools Of Music). Each year many of my pupils participate and perform at the prestigious Norfolk County Music Festival (founded in 1925). For more information on these professional organisations do please visit their websites:
Musicians Union http://www.musiciansunion.org.uk ABRSM http://www.abrsm.org Norfolk County Music Festival http://www.norfolk-music-festival.org Last Updated (Sunday, 22 January 2012 16:16) Recording newsThe most recent project has been an exciting new recording (with Dave Bainbridge) entitled Life Journey. This is inspired by the book (of the same name), writings & artwork of Mary Fleeson. Each track on this new CD has its own identity, presence & atmosphere - a sound reflection of each specific theme & work of art that we have sought to express from Mary's beautiful book. For more on this project (and to listen to examples) do please visit the excellent new website (which has been assembled by Mark Fleeson): www.life-journey-cd.com Also, do please visit the IONA website where you can also sample each track from the album (as well as discover my association & history with this band).

BBCTV Songs of PraiseIt has been a privilege to have recorded with so many artists & choirs for this programme over the years. SOP has to be a national heritage now. I have always appreciated working with the BBC SOP team. They have been commitment to excellence and have a passion for sharing the diversity of Christian Worship on national TV. I have also valued highly the way that people, from across our Nation, have been prepared to tell their story, of their life journey and of their faith for us to share and be inspired by.
