The Team

DAVID MCTAGUE - DIRECTOR
Dave has been promoting and marketing events for over 20 years. Working on a range of projects from live music and club nights to festivals and exhibitions, has enabled Dave to build up an enviable list of contacts.  His wealth of experience includes well over 15 years successfully promoting Africa Oye, helping it to grow in stature and profile, alongside a myriad of other projects.  Seeking to combine his passion for music and culture with his work, Dave saw One Fell Swoop as a natural progression, and this lively city centre agency was born.
