A self-taught musician Dave has studied the guitar with the Gypsy Masters Fapy Lafertin and Lollo Meier in the Netherlands.

Dave was inspired by a 'lesson' from the great Martin Taylor when Dave was 13yrs old to learn fingerstyle jazz guitar. Dave plays in The Toxic Cowboys with the acclaimed musician Sandy Wright. Sandy has recently signed a contract with Navigator Records and is working on his debut album.

Dave is currently working on building a business based on Django and Gypsy jazz tuition.
