David Gough is a composer currently working in both the classical concert and media areas of music, but began his career in rock/pop. It all started in his home city of Liverpool where, predictably enough, he formed a band, The Moondogs. Their first single was released on a local label linked to the legendary "Eric's" club where they played more than any other band, but their second single "Hooray for the English" filled the airwaves with the help of Radio One and achieved moderate success.
The B-side, "When You Fly" was recently included on a CD of Liverpool cult classics.

David eventually moved to London where he changed musical direction and continued his musical studies, leading to a BMus (1st Class Hons.) and MMus in Composing for Film and Television at the London College of Music & Media.

In addition to David's music for Film, TV and the Theatre, his classical Concert music has been performed in many major venues in the UK and around the world.

In 1995 he married Danielle Perrett, one of Britain's leading concert harpists. With Danielle, he has also set up a publishing company, Beartramka, specialising in music for the harp. They have published books, compositons and arrangements of harp music, and are now venturing into CD production with 3 recordings performed by Danielle.

David also taught musicianship at the Royal College of Music, Junior Department for over nine years, involving teaching gifted students from about 8 years of age to school-leaving age those non-performing musical skills which are necessary to a budding professional musician, including music theory, aural, music history, etc.
