Bio:
David Gibb is a 20 year old acoustic folk artist from Derbyshire whose music has been described as "Modern English folk with a witty wordy charm and a bit of an uplifting infectious feel" (Organ Music Magazine). Growing up firmly attached to the Derby music scene, David honed his skills playing and touring in local bands and after self releasing his debut EP in November 2007, he set about piecing together a group of close friends to support him on the road and in the studio.
With band firmly in place he travelled to Wales to record his debut album during the summer of 2008. The first single to be taken from the album; 'The English Retreat' was released January 12th 2009 through independent label Fuse Records and sold out 100 limited edition copies in just two weeks. The album was released June 8th on all major download sites and record shops, and was followed by a 20 date tour of the UK.
2009 proved to be an exciting year for David on the airwaves and on the road, receiving national airplay on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 6, as well as playing a live collaborative session for BBC Radio 1's Huw Stephens with award winning producer Baby J, while on the road he has shared stages with the likes of Mark Chadwick of The Levellers, Bob Fox, 3 Daft Monkeys and Eddi Reader.
With a new album due for release summer 2011, and the bands live performances receiving rave reviews and a reputation for a raucous and lively show, the future has never looked brighter for David Gibb.

"Charmingly quaint and full of contagious energy."
"David Gibb is a singer/songwriter capable of impressive things"
"feel-good music at its British best - damn near unputdownable and certainly a pleasant change from some of the more dreary and/or banal popular music we are so often subjected to."
DJ Yeo www.sinradio.co.uk

"an enthusiastic performance with happy, folksy pop sound, and energy that will not let any feet stand still!"
Eastwood Advertsier
"Just 18 years old, the Belper-based boy wonder impressed with pure, passionate singing and powerful guitar playing...which saw young and old beating a path to the dance floor."
