David Collins is a folk musician deeply routed in English history, culture and tradition. Having grown up with his dad playing guitar and singing, David decided to pick up guitar aged 16 and has never looked back. A semi-finalist at the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Musician awards 2011 (then David Shevelew), he played around the country at festivals and folk clubs. It was only study and deeply personal life events that took David away from playing for several years. Having supported the likes of Lucy Ward, Clive Gregson, Hannah Martin and Phillip Henry and Ewan McLennan, David is now back playing his own mix of traditional songs and his own deep and thought-provoking songs.
