David McBain

Biography taken from 2006 (The Grand Duke) programme:

David was introduced to the joys of Gilbert and Sullivan at Secondary School in, coincidently, a production of The Gondoliers. On leaving school he was persuaded to join the Southern Light Opera Company where he played principal parts in all but two of his 42 appearances, and consequently G & S faded into the background until 2004 when he joined EDGAS for Iolanthe. David also has a life long love of drama and regularly appears in the Festival Fringe. ‘Spare’ time interests include classic motorcycles - a throwback to the 1960’s when he competed annually in the Isle of Man TT ~ on the credit side winning some silverware, on the debit side sustaining a fractured femur which shortened his right leg by one and one half inches, a fact which some say is a decided advantage when playing golf on the slopes of Lothianburn where he struggles off a handicap of 7.
