David Lord (born 1944[1]) is an English composer and record producer, known for his work with Peter Gabriel,[2] The Korgis and XTC.

Career

Lord was born in 1944 in Oxford, England[1] and educated at the Royal Academy of Music,[3] under Richard Rodney Bennett.[4] He worked as a producer for BBC Radio early in his career.[3]

He worked as a composer; his song‐cycle, The Wife of Winter, was written in 1968, for Janet Baker[1] while The History of the Flood (1969) has a libretto by John Heath-Stubbs.[1] His 'cantata for children', "The Sea Journey", with a libretto by Michael Dennis Browne, is known to exist in two private pressings: one from the 1969 Farnham Festival,[5] for which it was commissioned; the other recorded in 1982 by children from St. Catherine's British Embassy School, Athens, Greece.[6] He also wrote a piece for Julian Bream and a test piece for a London Symphony Orchestra conductors' competition.[4]

He is responsible for the string arrangements on the chart hits "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" by The Korgis,[7] and "I'll Stand by You" by The Pretenders.

Since around 1970, Lord has lived in Bath, where he formerly operated Crescent Studios,[3][8][9] initially in his top-floor flat in Camden Crescent, and subsequently in a building dating from around 1700, at 144, Walcot Street.[10] He closed the studio when a new road was built next to it.[11]

Lord has appeared on The South Bank Show, discussing his work producing Peter Gabriel's fourth, eponymously titled, solo album.[12]

Conviction

In 2015, Lord was convicted of keeping a brothel, and was given a suspended prison sentence, as well as being subjected to a 7pm to 7am curfew for four months and made to wear an electronic tag, by Judge Geoffrey Mercer QC, at Bristol Crown Court.[13]
