DAVID McWILLIAMS
He was born in Ireland, in Belfast, on 4 July 1945.
David was an indomitable little boy like his black curly hair. The Technical
School, Engineering College, etc., saw him pass turbulently through their
classrooms.
The McWilliams family moved to Aldrin, another characteristically green
Irish town, and progressed town in green Ireland.
But David followed his destiny as a genius or a poet or a hallucinator.
He sang, accompanying himself on his guitar, whenever something hurt his
sensitivity. He worked here and there: mines, factories, pubs, where he began
to sing in public. It was in a pub in Belfast that he was heard by an important
artists' agent. He saw in David the vein of Bob Dylan, Tim Hardin, Tom Rose.
And today David Mc Williams sings his message triumphantly throughout
Europe and America (N° 1 in 1968 in France, Belgium, Holland and Italy).
This album is entirely David Mc Williams.
All the songs are his own, from his heart, from his guts.
