Dave Swift

Swift was also a guest lecturer at the March 2016 Bass Guitar Show at Earls Court Olympia that filled the room to capacity.

Swift is still an in-demand session musician outside of Holland's band and has also played double bass for American soul singer Gary U.S. Bonds, Ben E. King and on ex-Kinks frontman Ray Davies's album, Other People's Lives.

He had a notable appearance in Thomas Solomon Gray's debut album called New Beginnings which was released in 2015 and featured Ivo Neame (piano) and Mike Outram (guitar).

[2] Swift was the house bassist for the primetime Saturday night Chris Evans's TV show Don't Forget Your Toothbrush, Name That Tune on Channel 5.

During his time with Holland, Swift has played on several British movie soundtracks including: Secret Friends (Dennis Potter), MILK (Dawn French), Kevin and Perry Go Large (Harry Enfield, Cathy Burke), and Hunting Venus (Martin Clunes).

Most recently, Swift played bass on the soundtrack to the period drama Me & Orson Welles (starring Zac Efron, Christian McKay and Claire Danes).

The period drama, set in 1937, features Swift and the Rhythm & Blues Orchestra making an on-screen appearance as a dance band in the ballroom scene.

[3] Since August 2016, Swift has been supporting up and coming UK artist Georgia Crandon, whose music is best categorised as retro jazz and swing.
