The track 'Yes' from David and Bernard Butler (then of Suede), became the anthem of the Britpop era, but David, who started out in the band Thieves, was never going to be reduced to such trite classification - his career has seen him develop and change, with his constant groundbreaking collaborations.

- with David Arnold on 'Diamonds are Forever.'
- with Michael Nyman on 'The Glare'.
- and with Hifi Sean.

David's story is one which is about the search for an identity, of feeling like an outsider and eventually having a sense of belonging.

'Happy Ending' from Hifi Sean and David McAlmont is released on Feb 3rd, 2023.
