Personal Interests
David is involved from time to time in forensic speech and music analyses. He plays the pipe organ and sings in church choirs on a regular basis.
He is the musical director (from the tenor section!) of the Beningborough Singers which gives three or four concerts per year in the York area. They have just released their first CD (Hear an extract), titled 'Beningbrough Singers ONE'.
David also sings in other local choirs: as a deputy tenor Songman in York Minster; he used to be a deputy tenor Lay Clerk in Ripon Cathedral; and he sings and plays the organ on occasions with the St. Olave's Church choir in York.
He is a member of Voice Matters; a vocal trio taking part in the Music For Life scheme in North Yorkshire organised by Sowerby Music, to give primary school children a taste of different types of music. He has been involved as a singer under this scheme every year since 1997 in North Yorkshire primary schools, and has now been heard by over 2000 children.
When he is not at work, David might be found playing the organ or synthesizers.
