David O’Dowda latest project is ambiguous in title as it is in genre. Inventive, timeless, and brimming with personality, Table redefine the idea of modern folk music, just as Grandaddy and Tunng have done so before them.
David has been members of and played with a variety of bands including progressive-indie outfit Sizer Barker with whom he supported Peter Gabriel on the 2004 ‘Still Growing up’ tour. He played with 'The Beans' (blues, reggae and swing) who released an EP called 'Sun is Shining' and also with Maraktu (latin/jazz funk) who's other members included John Jenkins - MD and drummer with 'the Streets'.
David continues to perform live with his new project, playing everything from In the City 2007 to television programmes such as Manchester's Channel M and radio shows such as BBC6 music with Guy Garvey...
