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

He has since performed in numerous venues throughout the UK and Ireland,
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

he has played in Thailand, America, Scotland, Ireland, and throughout the
