Splash Stories with David McAlmont
Splash Stories welcomes vocalist and art historian David McAlmont for our June edition.
David left the UK in 1978 when his family moved to Guyana in South America skipping the whole punk rock scene completely in the process before returning to read performing arts at Middlesex Polytechnic.
His music career kicked off when he signed a publishing contract with Chrysalis Music in 1992 and gained recognition with London band Thieves. He then went solo securing a record deal with Virgin's Hut Records in 1994 and It was at this time that McAlmont performed live at The Splash Club to critical acclaim. Music Newspaper Melody Maker journalist Taylor Parkes commented at the time : "One day he will open his mouth and a cathedral will fall out."
We caught up with David to celebrate his past work with Bernard Butler and to discuss his new album Twilight with one of Splash Stories previous guests Hifi Sean. This summer sees David also playing Wall to Wall Bowie live on Aug 10 at Ronnie Scott's London.
