David Searle is a Bass-Baritone, but has a two and a half octave range, so capable of singing a wide selection of numbers that many comparative vocalists would have difficulty in achieving. Vocal training from Rosemary Kay (Bournemouth) has helped greatly in realizing the potential of his voice - Thanks Rosemary! So, Theatrical Performances, or Cabaret. If you want the best and most versatile performer, you're in the right place.
Whether performing in...
Principal Roles in London's West end, (including starring at 'The London Palladium' twice!) -"Tailor made for the west end" said 'The Stage'. or Various TV appearances, including 'Maspalomas Carnival 2006', before an open air audience of 10,000+ and live TV coverage to over 60,000,000+!
Also, having performed with 3 Eurovision song contest winners, to... opening 'Gay Pride - Maspalomas' 2008 for an audience of approximately 17,000 people. or Europe-wide 'Masonic Functions', to being the 'Classiest Act' on the 'Cabaret Circuit'. and now enjoying life, and entertaining in The Canary Islands (primarily Gran Canaria).
At Last!
2011
What an amazing oppertunity this project was to have been involved with. Patricia Fitzpatrick of 'Cape Cod Cabaret' realised that there was an enormous gap in the music industry. Ever since love song duets CDs have been produced, they have ALL been sung between a man and a woman. They way society was now more accepting of the 'gay' lifestyle.... why wasn't there a CD with men singing about love, with other men. So she put this idea into practise with myself as one of the principle vocalists. The other principal vocalist was Raif, we were joined by David Atkinson, and Joey Infante (Broadway 'regular performer'). On the piano was Glenn Starner-Tate, (an amazing pianist). Together we created something truely unique, and very touching... and filled the gap in the music industry! :-) '
Gay Pride - Maspalomas '08
8th May 2008
I opened Gay Pride festival with 'Rudi', a very dear friend of mine. We sang 'Tell me it's not true' from the Blood Brothers. Later in the show, I performed 'Regresa a mi' (the Spanish language version of 'Un-break my heart', (accompanied by two dancers), immediately afterwards I sang 'Nessun Dorma'. There were an estimated 17,000 people in the audience. Unfortunately, Pride was not televised, although there are various clips on 'youtube', and a DVD is available of the show.

Article in ‘The Stage’
