David begin his piano studies at the age of five, getting lessons from his
grandmother, Margot Henry, before receiving scholarships to study with Dr.
John O¹Connor in the Royal Irish Academy of Music, and Dr. Mabel Swainson at

including the National Concert Hall (Dublin). He has won prizes in major
competitions in Dublin, Sligo, Belfast, Derry, Ballymena, Arklow, and
Moville.
David has just graduated from the Royal Northern College of Music, which he
