Dave is best known as the drummer in Brit-pop band Blur, who formed in London in the late 80's. He has turned his hand to film and TV composing, working on the score for the 2018 Bros documentary ‘Bros: After the Screaming Stops’, the BBC series ‘The Capture’ and Netflix’s ‘The One’. A man of many talents – he is also a computer animator, podcast host, pilot, solicitor and former Labour councillor.
