London based guitarist/composer.
Guitarist/Composer David Rollins has been a dedicated musician for the past 37 years. His career has seen him adapt effortlessly between many musical genres including Contemporary Jazz, Rock, Blues, and Pop. Taking inspiration initially from the progressive rock of the early 70`s, David developed an impressive ability from a young age. He began playing live at the age of 17 and in 1980 became a member of indie pop/rock band Passion Puppets. The bands first album on Stiff Records/MCA America was released in 37 countries worldwide. The band toured with Paul Young and Psychedelic Furs, as well as making television and radio appearances. David went on to secure a production deal for his own song writing and also began working as a session player. Most notably he played with Jonas Gwangwa , co writer of the film score "Cry Freedom", performing at the 1988 Wembley Stadium Nelson Mandela concert. It was at this time that his passion for Modern Jazz began upon hearing greats like John Scofied and Pat Metheny. This was also the start of a career teaching guitar professionally and becoming a member of The Registry of Guitar Tutors. He now runs the successful DRGT guitar tuition business having taught in excess of 2000 students.Find out more about this at www.drgt.co.uk


David is currently composing material with a view to forming a new band to perform his music. Please visit www.myspace.com/davidrollinsgu itarist. He is also collaborating with top New York Jazz drummer John Favicchia.The results of which will be available in the near future.

Hi man! To tell the truth I prefer modern jazz and fusion instead of prog, but VDGG are really great! (sorry for my English, Italian students can't speak English, our president is Silvio Berlusconi, we can't be smart!)

I saw some of your videos, you can play!!!!! Your sound remember me Scofield! I play drums!

Bye!!!
