David Daws was born in Middlesex in 1963, the son of Salvation Army Officers and was taught to play the cornet at the age of three by Maisie Wiggins (neé Ringham).
A lifetime’s ambition to join The International Staff Band was
achieved in 1981 and David enjoyed nearly 21 years with the Salvation Army’s premier brass band, becoming the ISB’s Principal Cornet in September 1993.
A two year spell as Bandmaster of the Regent Hall Salvation Army Band was experienced in between a period of 12 years or so spent with The Enfield Salvation Army Band.
David now conducts the Hendon Junior SA Band which includes membership of his 2 daughters, Stephanie and Isobel.
He is also a regular cornet tutor of the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain.
David has made numerous solo engagements around the world together with a number of solos CD’s.
Following a tear in his lip muscle David underwent corrective surgery in December 2008 in Toronto, Canada. He has recently returned to the Hendon SA band and is continuing to make progress from his traumatic injury. David hopes to return as a cornet soloist in 2010.
