David may be the most well-known former member of Del Amitri. He joined the band after the recording of Waking Hours, although he appears on the sleeve, replacing Michael Slaven, and continued with the band through the recording of Twisted. He left the band in order to pursue a career in television and film, starting as a writer for the sketch TV series “The Fast Show” and ultimately co-writing the movie Kevin and Perry Go Large, writing The Last Seduction II, and co-writing the television show “Happiness.”
