Welcome
to my website - a base from which I’m able to present my CV, an
up to date account of my current activities along with samples of my most recent voice tape. Extracts
from my Video showreel are now available to view from my site, but you'll
need Quicktime to view them, click here to download

I finished the four month run of Jonathan Kent's production of Martin Crimp's version of La Fausse Suivante [The False Servant] after Marivaux at the National Theatre in September in which I had an enormously enjoyable time and since then there have been a number of projects.
Thankfully, the voice work - narration and Language recordings - has remained regular in addition to which I recorded four more radio plays for the BBC; Signs and Wonders by Frankioe Bailey, Solitary by Tommy Rogan, The Hiding Place [for the USA] by Corrie Ten Boom and Ancient and Modern by Sue Gee which is a Christmas story and it should be going out in late December. Hugh Wooldridge kindly invited me to take part in a workshop of the old classic story The Ghost and Mrs. Muir which he has just adapted into a musical. I played the part of a Mr. Sproule, the old drunken publisher - I make no further comment.
By complete contrast, the following week I appeared as Santa's Little Helper [No comment there, either!] in a Christmas commercial for Sky TV. Those of you who are SKY subscribers will probably be bombarded by this advert until there's not even any turkey left for sandwiches.
I have also recorded three double CD sets of short stories for Macmillan Audio Books by the excellent author Peter Robinson entitled Not Safe After Dark. These recordings are now on sale I believe and I share the reading with the actor Robert Glenister. Also, Spitfire Ace which I recorded last year to coincide with the Channel Four series with Steven Pacey and Tyler Butterworth is now available also.
As for the theatre, I'm just about to start rehearsing Trevor Nunn's production of Victoria Wood's Acorn Antiques The Musical which will star Celia Imrie, Julie Walters and Duncan Preston - as well as Josie Lawrence, Neil Morrissey and Sally Ann Triplet - and will open at London's Theatre Royal Haymarket in the new year.
On the mediterannean music front, I've just started the programming for the next CD [no title, as yet - I keep changing my mind about it] and I'm pleased to report that Charlie Gillet played 'Can't See The Beach For The Sand' from my album Noucentisme on his World Service music show JAZZ FM played (I think it was) Brazil, also from Noucentisme a couple of months ago. Airplay is always notoriously difficult to achieve and I'd like to thank them for the exposure.
Thanks to all who have supported my music CDs and The Lemming Chronicles as we near the end of the first print run. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the updates and further information on my page and do click below if you’d like to send me an email: davidspmail@aol.com
