While most of us take Sunday to unwind and recover from the past week's tribulations, David's job comes to a head on Sundays. Indeed, he says "I only work on Sundays". Of course, we know that that's not true.
As Vicar of Quorn, he's on duty most of the time, with one part of the community or another. When he isn't taking a service, he's probably out there, visiting, supporting or counselling. He feels that Charnwood Orchestra is a bit of a life-line - something completely different from his usual activities and he counts members of the orchestra as really good friends.

David plays second violin: "towards the back where I can't do any harm". He's been playing with Charnwood for 16 years and has played under three conductors: Andrew Constantine, Paul Hilliam and Nic Fallowfield. He doesn't play in any other groups so C.O. gets his undivided attention. However, his other hobby involves anything mechanical, "especially if it has wheels and an engine". He hasn't divulged what he does with this hobby but he does describe himself as a "petrol-head". Intriguing!

David must qualify as the player with the shortest distance to travel to rehearsals: 5 minutes down the road when he walks, but I am reliably informed that he has been seen accepting a lift, when it takes 30 seconds. Perhaps he was bringing the coffee box.

He says "After last night's rehearsal, I'm thinking of selling my violin." Please don't. We need you!
