He released his debut single 'Same Things' in 2013 and his self-titled debut album in August 2014 [1] on Blow Up Records which led to comparisons in the media to British acts such as Blur, Graham Coxon, Ray Davies, Jarvis Cocker and Ian Dury.[2] Record Collector editor Ian McCann said of David: "David Woodcock is a talent, in the classic Brit songwriter tradition. Every observation is honed to perfection"[3] and BBC 6 Music DJ Steve Lamacq described David as "Part Stiff Records, part Brit Pop. A reckless Stephen Duffy or an Essex Jarvis Cocker".[4]

His singles 'Same Things', 'Beggars Can't Be Choosers' and 'Open Secret' have received national airplay on stations including BBC 6 Music and Xfm, and David also recorded a live session for Marc Riley on BBC 6 Music in August 2014.[5] His most recent single 'Relatively Single Man' was the winner of BBC 6 Music's Rebel Playlist[6] with 52% of the public vote.[7]

Live, David performs both solo or with a band with a fluid line up of musicians, some of whom also appear on his album.
