After working for both The Sunday and Daily Mirror he then went on to become Chief photographer for the Sunday People. David continues to play with various bands and over the years has played with many stars. He was asked to join the new Skeekers as their drummer in the 70s, but decided to stay in Fleet Street, his first true love. David now continues to work for the nationals while writing and compiling new books… well known in the newspaper world for his zany ability for humourous and appealing pictures.
