Music

I have been writing and arranging music for over 40 years, first as part of a gospel band in the 70's and 80's, then as a hobby, and more recently as a form of therapy.

In addition to writing my own songs on topics that are close to my heart, I also set other people's lyrics to music, and write arrangements for melodies created by others. I use a wide variety of styles, from classical to country, jazz, plainsong, easy listening or pop, depending on the mood needed to reinforce the lyrics, and subject to the specifications requested by the lyricist.

If you are interested in collaborating on a song, have words you would like set to music, or words and a melody you would like to have professionally arranged, please contact me at dave@daveketteringham.com. If you include your words and/or melody, and the type of setting you are looking for, I will also let you know whether or not I am able to help. If I am not, I will return or delete any materials you send.
