David Ian Roberts makes music in his adoptive home of Cardiff, Wales.

While always connected in spirit to the work of the great 20th century folk guitarists and singer-songwriters, his recorded music is continually evolving, and explores complex harmony and wide sonic landscapes. At times highly composed, and at others incorporating improvisation and collaboration, Roberts' songs can always be traced back to the solo guitar and vocal performance.

He has released 5 full length solo albums to date - self released debut ‘St Clears’ (2014), followed by 4 releases on Welsh label Cambrian Records: ‘Travelling Bright’ (2019), ‘From The Harbour’ (2020), ‘In Clover’ (2022), ‘David Ian Roberts’ (2024).

‘Chasing Light’, an album of instrumental guitar duets with Henry Parker was released 2024 (Cup & Ring records).

David has also collaborated with Toby Hay on the releases ‘Harp and Guitar Improvisations’ and ‘Capel Y Graig Improvisations’.
