Dav Shiel has worked with an impressive list of recording and touring artists over the last few years, including Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), Malcolm Mooney (CAN), Damo Suzuki (CAN), and Rob Heron & the Tea Pad Orchestra. More recently he has toured extensively with Beth Jeans Houghton and the Hooves of Destiny, appearing at multiple festivals including Glastonbury, The Great Escape, Latitude and Bestival, as well as recording a critically acclaimed album with producer Ben Hillier (Blur, Elbow, Depeche Mode). The band also performed on ‘Later… with Jools Holland’ alongside Paul Weller and The Maccabees.
Dav has taken his beautiful Liberty MPX Kit on tour all over Europe since becoming a Liberty endorsee in 2012, and it now resides with him in London, where he has recently relocated. 2015 is set to be a big year for Dav as he is now playing with up and coming East London band Wide Skies.
