Author Description
Over the years Dave has worked in a range of creative fields: performing and writing music, sculpting and as a trainer writing and delivering scenarios and problem-solving activities for delivering stimulating activities and events. My musical output has almost always concentrated on instrumental compositions. Whatever the inspirations; jazz, classical, blues etc, the work is organic. I LOVE IMPROVISATION AND TO EXPERIMENT. My drawing and sculpting tends to be spontaneous. I do not start from a written, concrete concept or idea. I see something suggesting itself to me and then see where it takes me. I have always enjoyed words. I love the nuances and subtleties. I adore idiom and accent.A" Although Dave has written many poems and short stories over the years his first published title was 'A Fishy Tail' in 2010 in hardback with CD and also as a standalone AudioBook. Dave currently lives and works in North Wales where he writes, records and runs his slate art workshop (Parc Glynllifon, Gwynnedd). Somehow Dave also finds time to sail his boat, climb, walk and paint!
