David Kemp

Three things you didn't know about David:

• I once bought a round the world airline ticket and spent a year travelling eastwards, starting in South Africa and finishing in Los Angeles. I do love to travel having visited over 20 countries and plan to visit many more (mainly hot!) parts of the world.
• I have a set of Pioneer DJ decks and love mixing (or at least trying).
• When I was at school I won an inter-form chess tournament and still have the trophy.
