Elliot Roberts

David Ford is actually super modest... Here's an excerpt from his label's bio on him and why we asked him this question: His experience of playing American shows was especially poignant. He played SXSW four times in March 2006, during which he was asked by Elliot Roberts (Neil Young s long-standing manager) for another copy of the album for Neil; after his NYC debut, Ford was invited by Springsteen s manager to the Boss own rehearsal room; and, following an East coast tour with KT Tunstall, he was invited by Robert de Niro to play his Tribeca Film Festival launch party alongside Elvis Costello and New Orleans legend Allen Toussaint.
