Born Birmingham 1964, Dave learnt trumpet, drums and piano at
school but was self taught on the sax. Dave’s playing credits include
Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Cleo Laine & John Dankworth, Martin
Taylor, Jim Mullen, Matt Bianco, Jason Rebello, Clark Tracey Sextet,
Peter Gabriel and Jamie Cullum. Winner of the 1995 BT British Jazz
Awards in the tenor sax and rising star categories. Dave’s most seen and
heard career moment (and arguably moment of least artistic merit!)...as
the busker in “The Return of Mr Bean”. "O’Higgins, well - does he know
just how good he is? When it comes to bop of any kind, on either soprano
or tenor saxophones, he is, live, one of our few world-class players,
capable of holding his own with the Americans" - Sholto Byrnes, The
Independent.
