DAVID SHIRLEY - David graduated from Oxford as a linguist in 1960, then spent 33 years in the computer industry, 24 of them as a managing director. His love of music began at the age of 3, he ran the music society at his secondary school and started a record label at university. His recordings include Dudley Moore, The Yale University Concert Band and his own mini-opera with music by Ernest Warburton.

He became involved with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra as a sponsor in 1978 and later supplied it with computer systems for their complex payroll and accounts. The success of those systems led to orders from the Philharmonia and London Philharmonic orchestras. free tickets and rehearsal passes from all three orchestras enabled him to indulge his fascination with music making and to ask questions of eminent musicians. His personal friends included Yehudi Menuhin, Antal Dorati and Yuri Termirkanov as well as many orchestra players.

He moved to the Isle Of Wight in 1993 but soon got bored with retirement and indulged another of his passions, model railways. He created Fort Victoria Model Railway, the largest in the country, and also became chairman of the Visitor Attractions Association. In 1996 he made a series of private recordings as a tenor.He retired again in 2006, but soon became involved with another top professional orchestra, the Oxford Philomusica. In 2007 he brought 5 of their section leaders and their pianist / conducor to the Newport Medina Theatre, where a concert included 3 items sung by him and he began his long running series for Angel Radio, and also gave the first of several music appreciation evenings at Dimbola Lodge, Freshwater Bay.

His plans for 2009 include further recordings with the Oxford Philomusica, a special music presentation at Dimbola with the famous artist and record collector Graham Ovenden, and plenty more Angel Radio programmes. He has just returned to the Visitors Attractions Association as its chaiman. A relatively full schedule for someone entering his eighh decade.
