'O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall show forth Your praise' (Psalm 51:15 NKJV)

Hello, and Welcome to my Website

These pages offer news and information regarding my work as a musician and music teacher. I do hope you will find this site useful and helpful.

For my tuition work there are pages of information regarding my private teaching practice & work within schools here in Norfolk. I am a registered and full member of the ISM (Incorporated Society of Musicians) and the Musicians Union.

Regarding my playing work, I have started to assemble my own personal account of how the band & project IONA came into being. These origins came from within my long association and touring/recording work with the musician & composer Adrian Snell and subsequent discoveries of the Celtic origins of the Christian faith within these Islands. Do click the link for IONA (under the heading Performance & Recording) to find out more about this very significant part of my journey.

Enjoy the video below, which was made by Mark Fleeson on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne and features music from a new recording by Dave Bainbridge (co-founder of IONA) & myself, called 'Life Journey'. Also, do visit Mark & Mary's website at Lindisfarne Scriptorium and discover more on this project and also what amazing creativity is taking place on Holy Island today.

Thanks for visiting, David
