If you see a lot of live music in Sydney, Wollongong and surrounds, then you could be familiar with the sight of David James Young — but you might not recognise his face.
David grew up in Nowra on the NSW South Coast, and thinks the town’s relative isolation helped forge him into a relentless gig-going machine.
With a strong presence on social media, David is a tireless advocate for live music, as well as the sense of community and togetherness that gigs can nurture.
“If me sharing 30–40 seconds of a band on my stories can eventually lead to someone buying a ticket, a T-shirt, or an album — then mission accomplished.”
He is a fan first and foremost, his conversation peppered with names of musical performers — from huge international tourists, to the newest local up-and-comers.
David could still do with some help confirming the remaining gigs — and if you think he looks familiar (or recognise the back of his head), his Instagram is @djywrites.
