Hi there, my name is David and I have been playing piano and keyboards for over 50 years now. I have given over 300 concerts around the UK and also in Europe, and have traveled round the world as classical pianist and entertainer on many cruise ships including the world voyage on the Cunard QM2 . I have worked for most of the major keyboard companies as a demonstrator or featured artist. In the last 7 years I have produced over 65 albums for the world of ballroom, Latin and fun dancing . My albums are available on my website davidjread.com and I sell to the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Since the lock down in the UK I have been entertaining all my friends and dancers with music from my albums and some classical and original compositions. I hope you will enjoy visiting here .

One of my very first sequence rumbas from over 20 years ago. Still played by many dance groups today and I have re visited and obviously used my new piano, enhanced the drums a little but kept exactly the same backing and feel from all those years ago. Hope you enjoy listening and watching :)
