About David Mitchell

David Mitchell describes his guitar playing as “Folk-Classical fingerstyle”, combining these genres to create a beautiful and unique take on some well known pieces and traditional folk tunes as well as performing his own original compositions.

Alongside performing solo, David is also one half of West Country folk duo “Mitchell and Vincent” as well as in the “Monkey See Monkey Do Ceilidh Band”. He also enjoys depping with other bands and musicians near and far.

In addition to being a talented musician, David is also a skilled luthier, usually playing a lovely nylon-stringed Classical Guitar that he crafted himself.

David also plays other stringed instruments as well as whistles and recorders.

Upon hearing David perform at Lyme Folk Weekend Ralph McTell said, “I wish I could play the guitar like that”.
