David Cox was born and raised in Ontario and is employed as a writer and editor. He grew up listening to Scottish and Irish folk music. He has been a regular attendee at such venues as Roosters Coffee House in Ottawa, Cafe des Quatre Jeudis across the river in Hull, Quebec, and later at the Quarter Moon Coffee House in Bloomfield, Ontario.

As assistant editor of world music (Welsh and South European), David hopes to explore the diverse music of Europe, with a special emphasis on Cymru/Wales and Euskal Herria, the Basque Country.

David's hobbies include studying the Welsh and Basque languages. He lives in Toronto with his family. He can be reached at penyberth@hotmail.com.
