12013 Just because his band Easyworld split up in 2004, singer/guitarist/pianist David Ford's musical career wasn't over. He began writing songs as a solo artist, and in 2005 released his debut album, I Sincerely Apologise for All the Trouble I've Caused. After gaining some attention in his native England, Ford went to Texas to play at the 2006 SXSW festival, where a particularly strong performance led him to close a deal with Columbia Records, who issued I Sincerely Apologise for All the Trouble I've Caused in the U.S. in 2006. ~ Marisa Brown, All Music Guide 9917 Dartford, Kent, England
