Performed in a pilot Granada arts programme. Edited, printed and distributed a journal of new writing, ONE, with Mary Chaloner and Barry Dixon, (trumpet player and journalist), in the days of duplicators, self collating and staples.

David Chaloner worked in design from 1960 and moved to London in 1973. After involvement with various projects, including offices for Letraset, (an essential aid for graphic design), church renovation and assorted projects, he became consultant to Harvey Nichols department store, and also designed for Jean Paul Gaultier, Hit and Run Music, Connie Booth, Capital Radio, Jean Muir and Stockmann department store in Helsinki.

Ferry Press published his first two collections of poems. The second, Chocolate Sauce, with a jacket design by Patrick Caulfield, appeared in bookshops minus any form of text identification on the cover. After fourteen books of poems and inclusion in anthologies in UK, France and USA his Collected Poems was published by Salt in 2005 and Beyond These Lines, Equipage, Cambridge in 2007, with a cover image from a drawing by the sculptor John Davies.

Void Heaven, a text for performance, film and music was completed in 2006. It awaits a first performance. In the same year Chaloner read from the work of William Blake, together with the poet Charles Bainbridge and the film-maker Colin Still, in a movie impression of Blake's haunts in the City of London, filmed by Colin Still. This was shown over one weekend on large screens in public spaces throughout the city.

Since 2005 his time has been divided between Amsterdam and London, writing, designing, making short films, voice over work and more recently appearing in front of the camera.

Future readings will include venues in London and New York.
