About Dave Whitcroft

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My dad broke my first cheap steel string guitar in a fit of rage, and afterwards bought me a classical as an apology. It turned out to be a solid top Hermanos Godvinez, I loved it, but it got stolen 20yrs later. Still haven't bettered it. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Phil Keaggy, Beyond Nature The Chieftains, The Best of the Chieftains Simply the most beautiful instrumental storytelling, and it's inspired by County Down where I live. The chieftains were my introduction to quality Irish music, their work warm my heart! Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Kathmandu” This one is weird! I think it paints a picture of east meets west, urban meets mountains o I'm pleased how it has turned out. People use it a lot for mountain documentary films and travelogues. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I've played on TV & radio, and travelled with music, but one of the highlights was being asked to play our new hymn 'The Grace' at the funeral of a dear friend who had it on his final playlist. I consider this my highest honour. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Only starting! We hope to release more instrumentals on this profile and a second worship album on KDMusic. They will focus on songs for churches to sing, rather than for individuals to stream.
