Cooking Vinyl Signs Blur's Dave Rowntree

Cooking Vinyl are delighted to announce the signing of Dave Rowntree to a worldwide artist services deal. 

Dave Rowntree is probably best known as the drummer of Blur, having released eight studio albums, two compilations and sold over 15 million copies worldwide. Dave has more recently moved into Film and TV composition, enjoying success with titles such as the Bros documentary 'After The Screaming Stops', the BBC series 'The Capture' and Netflix's 'The One’. He also hosts The Dave Rowntree Show podcast on Spotify. He is currently working on a debut solo album to be released on Cooking Vinyl in 2022.

Rowntree says, "As a kid I used to spend hours spinning the dial on my radio, dreaming of escape to all the places whose exotic stations I heard. I've tried to make an album like that - tuning through the spectrum, stopping at each song telling a story about a turning point in my life, then spinning the dial and moving on. I'm very excited to be releasing the album on Cooking Vinyl next year."

Cooking Vinyl MD Rob Collins says, “Dave’s album blew me away and there wasn’t anything going to stop me releasing it. He’s a very talented drummer!!”
