A Scot from Edinburgh, David embarked on his radio career at Radio Clyde in the Newsroom. But the attraction of teaching Spanish, Russian, Portuguese and French was too strong to resist and he went on to be a Senior Teacher and a Junior School Head. Now retired, he still finds time for private tutoring.

From 1990, David had his own restaurant in Harrogate, while teaching part-time. He presented regular radio programmes in North Yorkshire and then he found himself doing a daily breakfast show on a community radio station near Harrogate. As well as a love for chart music from the 1950s to the present day, David has a real passion for the music of the 1940s.

David has acquired yet another passion – cruising and he gives talks on aspects of British entertainment there.

And if you’ve a request for him to play – give him a few days’ notice and he’ll see what he can do. To place a request, you can email David HERE.
