David’s inbox has been getting a lot unwarranted email recently and so if you want to send him a message, please make the header something guitar related in order to get around the rather vicious spam filter we’ve had to put in place.

Autumn Clinic Tour
We’re glad to report that David’s autumn 2007 book signing and clinic tour was a fantastic success. David travelled all over the country, visiting Borders book stores and Yamaha dealers in order to talk about acoustic guitar technique, answer questions from audiences, sign books and play some tunes from his album.

‘I had a ball, to be honest,’ he says. ‘It was great to get out from being permanently shackled to a computer and get playing again. It was also good to meet everyone who attended the various clinics and book signings, too. I’d like to thank Acoustic magazine, Yamaha, Music Sales and Elixir Strings for their help and support during the tour.’

There are already plans afoot for more appearances in 2008 - keep checking the site and we’ll keep you updated!
