"David Heselden's Pop music and bio"
I WAS BORN IN LONDON AND RAISED ON A DIET OF BEATLES/MONKEES/BYRDS/ AND BEACH BOYS MUSIC WHICH WAS PLAYED TO ME BY MY OLDER BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
AFTER LEARNING GUITAR AT SECONDARY SCHOOL, I ALSO PICKED UP OTHER INSTRUMENTS LIKE PIANO AND DRUMS AND FOUND I HAD THE ABILITY TO FIND MY WAY AROUND IT.
I FOUNDED A BAND 'THE SHADE' AND AFTER MANY DIFFERENT MEMBER CHANGES THROUGH THE YEARS, I SPLIT THE BAND AND HEADED TO LIVE IN BOURNEMOUTH SOON AFTER.
AFTER MANY YEARS OF MAKING 4 TRACK DEMOS, I MOVED TO 8 TRACK AND THEN FINALLY TO DIGITAL 16 TRACK.
I NOW MAKE MY OWN COMPLETE TRACKS, PLAYING ALL THE INSTRUMENTS MYSELF IN A HOMELY ATMOSPHERE, WHEN TIME PERMITS.
THERE'S NOTHIN' I LIKE BETTER THAN RECORDING A COVER OF SUCH BANDS LIKE THE BEATLES OR THE BYRDS.
I ALSO PLAY DRUMS IN A LOCAL BAND CALLED 'KICKSTART' FROM TIME TO TIME, WHICH IS A COVERS BAND OF 50'S, 60'S AND 70'S MUSIC.
MY RECENT PROJECT IS CALLED "BYRDMAN OF BEARWOOD" AND FEATURES 14 TRACKS FROM THE GREAT BAND WITH CLASSIC RICKENBACKER 12 STRING SOUNDS AND 3 PART HARMONY'S.
