Dave Heaven

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Andrew Rhys Heaven is a Welsh musician of some renown with a focus on smooth jazz and fusion. Songs such as Midnight Dean Street, Do It Again and Moonflower brought him to the attention of guitarist Pete Downes who invited him to play with PD3, a jazz group with significant and growing support. In addition Dave is a regular contributor to Red, a South London rock group. Dave performs the unusual trick of playing guitar left handed by simply inverting a right handed guitar. This has led to a distinct tonal style which, coupled with a rare understanding of jazz harmonics, casts him as a guitarist of some significance. Dave has worked in collaboration with writer Paul Honeyford on a number of occasions to produce songs and jingles under the design umbrella of AR Productions. Dave studied at the West London Institute of Higher Education where a developed interest in Giotto led him to set up his own design company which counts a number of group album covers in its portfolio.
