his nickname? We know all about the Holy Grail, but what about the

Tail' in 2010, Ballad of the Rocks and other writings, brings
together a selection of his other writings in this collection

childhood or creating nonsense verse. For many years he has
written, recorded and performed music for theatre, film and live
events. He sculpts and creates from slate and stone, working from
his workshop alongside other artists at Parc Glynllifon in North
Wales. (Artistiaid yr Iard-iard.co.uk). As well as all these
activities, Dave uses his creativity to design, develop and deliver
creative active training courses and events for all ages.
