David Scott is a Senior Lecturer within the School of Media, Culture & Society at UWS delivering programmes on Commercial Music and Songwriting. The MA Songwriting programme is the only one of its kind in Scotland and recently developed a Scholarship in conjunction with Paolo Nutini. David is a well regarded and widely published composer and performer, about to release his 9th album with the group The Pearlfishers. His programmes for BBC Radio Scotland have spanned documentary series on film music, lyric writing and, most prolifically, Classic Scottish Albums. The related epic 30-episode podcast series will form the basis of David's talk for the PFS. He will look at the identity of the Scottish songwriter, particularly the ways in which Scottish musicians have filtered American forms, with a focus on Bert Jansch, Gerry Rafferty and Glasvegas.
