"David Childs played a programme which had a wide appeal. Originals for the euphonium, beautiful melodies and virtuoso showpieces were played with great musicianship and an awesome technique, and his presentation and very pleasant personality made him a big hit with the audience. One doesn't usually rush to hear a euphonium - but rush to hear David Childs - a most excellent concert thoroughly enjoyed by all"
Rowena Leder - Artistic Director
Grassington Festival
"Superb! The audience just loved it."

Chester Summer Music Festival
"Endangered species in expert hands - on the evidence of his lunchtime recital, David Childs could well lead the way in popularising the euphonium, one of several recently identified 'endangered species'. A carefully chosen programme highlighted the full range of the instrument and the soloists' virtuosic and highly enjoyable performance."
Bronwen Sutton - Manager
Newbury Spring Festival
