About Me

www.ukscreen.com/cast/daveyboy (Mp3-Downloads) David was born in Ballykinlair, Northern Ireland in 1964 whilst his Father was on active service with the British Army. His family moved back to England when He was 1, and it was in Essex, aged 11, that His love of music began. David formed his first band "Kingston", writing originals with his schoolfriend Robert K. Chapman. The band did several local gigs over the following years including school functions and a one off Rock & Roll gig at the "Parkside" public house on Davids 17th birthday. Over the following years, David played lead guitar/ lead vocals for East London Psychobilly and Rockabilly bands. In his early 20`s he became more interested in Rock music and joined a local band "First Quarter", writing original songs, and being their lead vocalist from 1987 - 1989. In 1995 he formed the Rock band "Firmament" writing original tracks, and performing them at local Venues such as "The Standard Music Venue" in Walthamstow E17. When this act finally disbanded in 2000, David gathered all of the recordings that he had taken part in over the years according to their genre, and now 7 albums are available as free downloads at Download.com. David made a career change in 2000, joining several television agencies as a background artiste (extra), appearing in many shows such as EastEnders, The Bill, Waking The Dead, etc., before progressing onto featured appearances in Film and Television.
