David Hope (IRL)
David Hope is an Irish folk troubadour from the West coast of Ireland.

Over the past 14 years, David has gigged & toured extensively in both his native Ireland and mainland Europe, averaging in excess of 200 shows per year. During this time, Hope has built a reputation as one of the very best live performers on the touring circuit today. Drawing his audience in with his storytelling wit, personality and Irish charm, it is the beauty and depth of his songs, which are delivered with the lived in, almost sepia tone of his impressive voice & the raw elegance of his guitar playing that succeeds in holding audiences long after the show has finished.

David has performed a variety of shows across Europe including numerous festivals in Switzerland (Blue Balls Luzern, Songbird Festival Davos), Germany, Sweden and toured with Declan Sinnott (IRL), The Duke Spirit (UK), Sophie Hunger (CH) and Beth Hart (USA). In Ireland, he has toured nationally with folk/blues chanteuse Mary Coughlan (IRL), Barnaby Bright (USA) and opened for a variety of Irish artists such as Damien Dempsey, Mick Flannery, The Stunning, Mundy, Mary Black, John Spillane and whipping boy.

David has independently released four critically acclaimed records in recent years. The album, ‘A Picture’, produced in 2007 by Terry Woods (Steeleye Span / The Pogues) received great reviews and airplay and was promoted with appearances on national Irish television. A 7-track EP ‘Daybreak Someplace’ was released in 2009 to rave reviews.

2011 saw Hope work with highly acclaimed musician and producer, Declan Sinnott (Christy Moore / Moving Hearts) who produced a second EP entitled ‘Hell or High Water’. The first single ‘Hell or High Water’ was released in April 2011 to great reviews and radioplay and was followed up with Hope’s first music video, produced by IMTV award winning film maker, Shaun O’Connor.

A second full studio album, ‘Scarecrow’, was released in early 2013 to rave reviews – with the album reaching No. 3 in the Singer / Songwriter Album Chart on iTunes. ‘Scarecrow’ was released in Germany in January 2015 on deepdive records to stellar reviews and nationwide airplay.
