David's Reviews

Working with various units throughout the hospital (Addictions, Eating Disorders, Personality Disorders and Adolescent services) the music classes David provides have become a valuable part of our treatment programme. He has adapted each class to provide for the different requirements of each specialist group. The classes have proved to be an inspiring, creative, therapeutic outlet for patients who are able to become truly self-aware and have encouraged clients to overcome fears and reinstated a belief in their own possibilities. This is mirrored by a definite change in their body language and mood. This group has become one of the most popular on our programme.

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I will always do my best to be flexible and to work with you at every stage of your event.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

This isn't a service i offer.

How much time do you need to set up?

For Gathering Of Drums it takes 1.5 hours to set up. If it can be done offstage then it will only take 15 - 20 minutes to get it into place on stage.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

I'm definitely happy for you to choose which instruments you would like more focus on than others. For example you may prefer a more gentle chimes based atmosphere, a more powerful drumming one or as i usually play - a balance of the two.
