About Dave Griffiths
Dave's quartet "Mandolin Express" features mandolin music from around the world. His interest in Choro, the samba based music from Brazil, has teamed him up with fellow bluegrass mandolin wizard Mike Prior to form the new and exciting "Brejeiro". Dave also plays in duos with Guitarist Kevin Byrne and Accordionist Karen Street.
As one half of the duo "SMILE" Dave plays mandolin and bass with Jim Reynolds featuring Jim's own wonderful songs and the music of, among others Ry Cooder, John Martin, Nick Drake and Roy Orbison.
To raise the profile of the mandolin in Britain, Dave is on the committee of the BMG Federation dedicated to encouraging young musicians to take up the mandolin and he runs workshops at Festivals, the BMG Rally and in his home town of Bristol.
