A native Irishman who has lived in the Uk for 34 years.
Been doing this since I was 15 years old, love music like I love life.
I play all the instruments on the songs but am a bass player as my primary tool. The rest I muddle along with.
Not the greatest singer in the world and where I can I press my friend Mick Gardner to sing for me. Absolutely open to collaboration with vocalists s anyone who fancies singing one of my song please hit me with a message.
I live to collaborate, I can add arrangements to guitar or piano songs, play bass, write music for lyrics I find interesting and happy to
master recordings if you want to add some sparkle.

Sure!! Sounds fun--let's do it! I really enjoyed your collab, A World of Quiet Beauty, with Doug. Thank you!
-
@nadine Mar 2022
So interesting to listen to your interview with @coolparadiso . These are exactly the thoughts I have when I write music. I don't see myself as performer and never will, so I don't care about how I sound. My stuff here are just demos showing my vision. I care more about finding the right people, arranging and producing my song in a way that makes all shine. This is the strength I can only show after FAWM :(

@dannen Mar 2022
Thanks for listening to my song, Joyful, I was seeing a dance troop routine set to this music. Great minds think alike!
-
@crisp1 Mar 2022
Congratulations on your double win! And thanks once again for A World of Quiet Beauty -- I'm still marveling at how you took all those words and turned them into such a cool song. Cheers!
-
@kahlo2013 Mar 2022

@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Surprise! It's posted!
-
@taracraig Feb 2022
You’ve been added as a collaborator. Feel free to post it if you have a chance before I do.
-
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
David, I might be able to do the voice recording today for that song. If I do, do you want me to post it here, or just send back to you?
-
@taracraig Feb 2022
Hello! I am so late getting back to you about adding bass, my apologies. I emailed you a wav file. If you have a chance to get to it sweet!
-
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Davey, I sent you a message asking for the lyrics for that song from last year. I now have figured out how to sing a track over it, but I don't have the lyrics, and want to sing them right. Could you send them to me?
-
@lyricslinger Feb 2022
Thanks. Done. :)
-
@analogj Feb 2022

@lishie5000 Feb 2022

many thanks! -
@sheslin Feb 2022
Great! Send me the link at [email protected] when time allows. Thanks!
-
@sheslin Feb 2022
Hey Dave - I contacted you about writing to your cool instrumental track It’s About Time. You replied to go for it, and I think I missed your message. I see now you have an added an edit that you like it the way it is. I agree for sure, but I would still like to give it a try if you are willing. To do so I will need the MP3 unless there is a way to grab it in SoundCloud. My email address is linked to my profile. Thanks, and I hope you are still open to it. I wish I could play guitar and produce tracks like you do!

@mctown Feb 2022
All good.... roll on, Davey.

@mctown Feb 2022
Looks like you are rolling....David McTown
-
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
Thanks so much for the beautiful song. I totally love it! Perfect! There were a couple of other people who asked if they could do a version, I told them it was up to you. Thoughts?
-
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
That would be great! Thanks!
-
@davidtaro Feb 2022
Oh mate, if it’s within travelling distance I’m there! :)
-
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Thanks Davey. I for the first time was able to bring in someone else's music into my DAW and add my own vocals onto it. I just didn't know how to start and was just overwhelmed by it before. I swear I will add those vocals now onto the song you sent me. I just needed some technological help to do it.
Singing is easy, DAW's aren't. :-) -
@billwhite51 Feb 2022
im being satirical in hopes to find somene who can do a funny song with a heavy heart. like when tom jones did delilah.
-
@greengrassgirl Feb 2022
daveyboy103. Thanks for the comments on Ghost of a Chance. I agree with you that @Gwyn1234 did a beautiful job on that one. Thank you for taking the time to listen! I hope you and I can find a song that works. It was fun to do When We're Good. I still play that one all the time!
-
@leakyplusme2 Feb 2022
You can have my cat if you like i will throw him in the ocean and he can swim to the UK from Australia i'm sure the ocean will part for him as he thinks he is God.
-
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
Ha! Thanks for busting my Zong. And it takes a crazy guy to know a crazy girl
-
@nadine Feb 2022
I've sent you some info via mail. Have a nice weekend!
-
@nadine Feb 2022
Hey, thanks a lot for your comment on "Pedal to metal". I'm happy that you enjoyed my song and that you're interested in recording.
Can you please specify the instruments / roles you want to have in the project? I read in your profile, that you're mainly guitarist and bassist, but you ask me for backing without drums. You're also a drummer or do you want to program?!
Can you please check if the mail adress you gave me is correct?! Guess you got a typo. -
@lyricslinger Feb 2022
Thanks, Dave. No rush

@cindyrella Feb 2022
Thanks. It changed to the title when I posted it.

@cts Feb 2022
Congrats on the win and thanks for the comment about the pic. I can't take credit for it though...the photographer REALLY made me look good!
-
@geoff61 Feb 2022

@geoff61 Feb 2022
Are you gigging anywhere anytime soon?

@geoff61 Feb 2022
Thanks Dave, been fun so far this FAWM right? Must meet up sometime now things are normalising here :-)
-
@hurryak Feb 2022
Hi there! Thanks for the kind feedback and the generous offer to collaborate. I appreciate it! I had already arranged to work on this song with a buddy of mine, but truly, thank you. Perhaps i'll hit you up for another project in the future. Happy FAWMing!
-
@cts Feb 2022
Wow, man! You are blazing along with no looking back! Oh, to be so prolific and focused.
-
@leakyplusme2 Feb 2022
Yes David you can have a go at "Driftwood"
-
@mal Feb 2022
Now that you've pointed out the spaghetti western feel, it's all I can hear. : D
I haven't explored much of bandlab apart from the composition and recording bits, but I'll have a look at the mastering tool. Thank you for recommending it. -
@sbs2018 Feb 2022
Thanks you. :)
-
@povosos Feb 2022
Thank you for your comment on "Inside my head". On last years album, with equally dark atmosphere, one of my friends said "very good, but I guess I'm doing too well in my life to enjoy this" Xd
-
@slusk Feb 2022
Hah! I wrote the beholder stuff before I read that you had the same observation. And yes I almost wrote AWB but held back because that would actually have been a bit funky ;) Keep it up!
-
@slusk Feb 2022
Funk is in the eye of the beholder ;) ;) Thanks for listening and your comments!
-
@yewnorker Feb 2022
Re.: I Like 'Em Like That. Thank you. I'd love to hear a glam rock version. Or any version. Glad you liked it.

Wow...you been rolling them out. Onward. DG

@vaughan Feb 2022
Which songs are you wanting lyrics for?
-
@gwyn1234 Feb 2022
Many, many thanks for the listen and your kind and encouraging words...
-
@crisp1 Feb 2022
Well, it was so wordy that I worried whether anyone would take it, and then I worried that it would just be hard to set properly. But from the opening notes and then when I heard you singing, I said to myself, "Damn, he nailed it!" Thanks again!
-
@billwhite51 Feb 2022
you did aj evcellent job on the final mix. everything sounds terrific and blends well. repeating the final line was a smart move. working with you is challenging and rewarding, and a lot of fun
-
@mikeb Feb 2022
Thanks for the listens and comments on my week 1 challenge and rock opera songs!
-
@gm7 Feb 2022
Your are a force..!
-
@crisp1 Feb 2022
Thanks for that, David. Quick turnaround, yet incredible quality in the music and production and so right on for the words. Color me awed!
-
@crisp1 Feb 2022
A World of Quiet Beauty is yours! Looking forward to hearing what you do with it!
-
@cindyrella Feb 2022
That's fine. It is wordy
-
@cheslain Feb 2022
Why would you want to? Everything was better in the 80's. Fashion sense in particular.
-
@littlespiral Feb 2022
Yes, I'd love to hear what you did with Feel Real!
-
@majordanby Feb 2022
UK FAWM ;-)
-
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
Thank you!!! Love your sound and your treatment of the lyrics! Awesome! Much appreciated!
-
@resonut123 Feb 2022
Sure, this is FAWM so go ahead and do an alternate take/mix of Red Car just give me collab credit since I am the original songwriter.
-
@writeandwrong Feb 2022
Thank you, I like that, The Happy Hobo :)
-
@cindyrella Feb 2022
Yes. I think that's better.
-
@stephentanner Feb 2022
Hey! Thanks for your comment and yes, by all means, feel free to do a band arrangement, I see it as a full band song.
-
@cindyrella Feb 2022
Hey there. I wonder if we should change the last two lines on my suicide lyric? (see Roel's comment)
-
@dzdandcunfsd Feb 2022
Thanks. I might bump it up a touch. I hadn't even listened to it myself until just now.
I think you're right about Mozart though. Pretty sure he's be heavily into synths, but I'd love to have an orchestra on call at my disposal. One of those grass is always greener things I suppose. -
@gm7 Feb 2022
You the man Thx.
Garry -
@gm7 Feb 2022
I did it...do you hear a difference on Little Gerri??
-

Hey David! Good to see you're back for more FAWM fun. All the best to you in getting past 14 (which I'm pretty sure you're gonna). I'll be around and feel free to stop by if you're up for collaborating.
Peace out! -
