Following a early interest in music, playing guitar, drums and piano as a
nipper, David Donnelly began playing with bands in the pubs and clubs of
Glasgow from the age of sixteen.
Having moved to Edinburgh aged 20 in 1990 he hooked up with legendary
psychedelic hipsters 'Papas Magic Beard' and it was with this outfit of
groovers and misfits that he to quote" first felt the funk". A flirtation
with Latin rythyms led to forming his own project 'Freshly Squeezed' which
in turn led to a collaberation with hip hop outfit 'One People'.
The first vinyl releases came for 'Freshly Squeezed' (DATE) and along with
origonal rocker Joe Malik and one time Proclaimers keysman Stevie Christie
as the 'Outa'nationals' on the seminal Edinburgh compilation 'East coast
Project'
Further individual projects followed under the venerable tutelage of local
legend Uncle Jack Findlay and soon David had the skills to establish himself
as a producer in his own right.
There followed invitations to tour and session with bands such as 'Salsa
Celtica' and homegrown hip hop pro 'Finlay Quaye'. In 2001 David, reunited
with Joe Malik, signed to German label Compost Records and together they
released 'Diverse' (2001) and 'Aquarius songs(2003) to much critical acclaim.
Future projects include continuing a career as a producer of some renown and
the remastering and eventual release of some seven LPs worth of back
catalogue.
