Dave Chapman comes from a solid folk background starting in the folk clubs around Sheffield and Chesterfield. In mid-career he sang and recorded with Midsummer Level a folk trio based in Chepstow and at the same time with a Country trio in the Forest of Dean, which he has kept quiet about until now. Throughout his teaching career in both England and Canada his great delight was the numerous musical productions and collaborations he was involved in.
Although retired from teaching he is still involved in music having played bass and mandolin for many years with Widdershins Ceilidh Band. He has also played jazz bass with The Downe and Outs Jazz Band and the Sid Mould Sextet. Dave has taught both guitar and mandolin throughout his career and is an amateur maker and mender of stringed instruments.
