Dave Malkin
Dave Malkin is a composer, guitarist, singer and producer.
Alongside John Dipper and his 14-string viola d’amore he is one half of Dipper Malkin, reimagining the traditional music of England. The duo was born out of a shared appreciation for the gloriously idiosyncratic vernacular music of previous generations. Their debut album was included in The Sunday Times ‘Best 100 Albums of 2017’.
“John Dipper’s duets with the guitarist Dave Malkin are perfectly judged, the latter’s occasional unassuming vocals adding just the right measure of grit. Exquisite…”
– The Sunday Times
His debut recording with fellow guitarist Louis Campbell (Owen Spafford & Louis Campbell), Bird On A Briar, was released on Slow Worm Records in August 2024, and features English music from the 13th to 21st century.
“Beautifully nuanced, balanced playing, full of respect for the music and quiet confidence in its execution… two badasses of the acoustic guitar.”
– KLOF Magazine
