In February 2022, the Chair of Lancaster University’s Honorary Degrees Committee Professor Andy Schofield [Vice-Chancellor] invited David to accept the award of an Honorary Doctorate.
The honoris causa award of Doctor of Music [DMus] marks the outstanding contribution David has made to music industry entrepreneurship and business engagement with the local community.
David has demonstrated outstanding success – while not losing his geographical roots – and will be an excellent role model for Lancaster University’s students who are following programmes in entrepreneurship and the performing arts.
