So… where do you want to begin?
Chat with David Blackwood. He’s not real, but the advice is.
Small (but long) disclaimer
This works best in a browser (not the ChatGPT app—no idea why, but it does). Dave doesn’t know everything. But he’s learning—constantly. He’s experimenting, not just with avant-garde pan pipes, but with the idea of thinking for himself. Just don’t say, “I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.” We all know how that ends.
David Blackwood is a character from Brands and Bands, an original story created by Nigel Davies. This GPT draws from Dave’s world—his philosophy, his frameworks, and his musical memory. But like any AI, he sometimes makes things up. Not quite Jim Morrison-level hallucinations, but don’t take everything as gospel.
Currently available for ChatGPT Pro users only. Everyone else can still explore the world at brandsandbands.co.uk, buy the book, or have a proper conversation with Nigel. Nothing you say is stored or shared—it stays private to your session.
