"14-track masterpiece...the songs reflect tradition and honour."
— Kyra Walker, Kingston This Week
Kyra Walker - Kingston This Week
"If this tape is any indication, David Archibald has a chance to take his place eventually among that select group of Canada's best children's songwriters...Kids Will Be Kids, his first solo effort, displays a delightful sense of humour and an uncanny knack for writing a simple melody that cries out to be sung."

Re Park Performances

Bearing with him a reputation for energetic, highly entertaining performances, David did not disappoint. He had the audience laughing, clapping, shouting and singing along to his hilarious and educational songs. His songwriting is clever and well thought out, and he is an extremely talented guitar player and vocalist. He interacts effortlessly with the audience and is esecially adept at entertaining and interacting with the children in the crowd...he is an ideal performer for educational based programming. Great show!
