Добавлен 11 сен 2007

Gavin had 2 semi finalist positions 2 Highly commended and 8 commended certificates in the UK Song writing contest run by the Brits.
Why create music and then hide it away from everyone?
Well, that is something I have been struggling with since I was a teenager! 40 years ago, a musician had to get up on the stage and perform to earn a living, something I could not do as an Anxiety sufferer. Instead, I wrote and practiced on my own and hid behind a Drum Kit, playing with numerous local bands. I have decided to record and release my music anyway. I really hope you like what you hear.
Magazine review "Your vocals, Gavin, are a wild river - soothing yet strong, the raw essence shining like morning sun upon the rushing waters. The interplay of the soft guitar, bass, piano, and drums, weaves a rich tapestry of sound that wraps the listener in its comforting embrace"

MR BOJANGLES | cover by Gavin Davies
I recorded Mr Bojangles a long time ago and recently found it lurking in a strange place on my PC. I think I used a Robbie Williams backing track.

FOUR OAKS BIG BAND SUTTON COLDFIELD | Cover "It Had To Be You" featuring Gavin Davies.
Просмотров 94 часа назад
In 2008 Gavin had hair! (pre chemotherapy) and sang with the fabulous Four Oaks Big Band. I started singing with big bands to try and overcome my anxiety and also do something regular with my dad. My dad had always loved the big band sound and it was great to take him along to rehearsals and the monthly gigs. Singing at the gigs was extremely tough as my anxiety had a field day, but over time I...

If people follow rules in music and song writing they will all sound the same. Break free, throw the rules away, and just make the music you like. Don't copy other artists but be inspired by them. www.gavindavies.co.uk #music #musician #ukmusic

Foo Fighters acoustic cover | Times Like These by Gavin Davies
Do you thing 15 songwriters are needed for one track ?
This was recorded in 2008 at the Sutton Coldfield Town Hall with a sold out crowd. I like the Sammy Davis Junior version the most who do you prefer?
I personaly prefer the Sammy Davies Junior version of Mr Bojangles, who do you prefer?
Top 10 British Drummers, who do you think should get the number one slot ?
Gavin talks about his influences, The Beatles, Starliners, Hamburg and his Dad, do you have any personal Beatles stories ?
Who doesn't like the Beatles, I love the Get Back documentaries too. Having recorded at Abbey Road twice I can say that you can feel them in the room helping you to perform :-)
What film music do you like? This song was from Camelot and was my Mothers favourite song.
Do you think AI will destroy music, will it make it harder for Real musicians to earn a living ? Is it a good thing ?
Gavin talks about his two recording sessions at the famous Abbey Road Studios. Do you have any stories of recording at this Iconic studio ?
It sure is a Mad world we live in, note to self stop wearing the Raging Bull T Shirt......Yes I know it is the only one that has not been clawed by the Cats yet.....You must have another one ?
Frank was an Icon, I don't try to sing this like he did as I have my own sort of unique style (I think) I also sang this at the Sutton Coldfield Town Hall and The Lichfield Garrick Theatre with a full 18 piece Big Band. Lots of fun!!
Maybe this can't be described as a proper fail as we just run out of time. We managed to record a whole album in 2 days and then a few cover songs so that was a great result I suppose :-)
I went to se H C Junior at Symphony Hall near my home town Sutton Coldfield. He was Amazing!! Should I sing more Big Band Style songs ? what do you think ?
Giving up is not an option, a very slow start some 40 years but better late than never. Please have a listen to my original music www.gavindavies.co.uk/
Amy was one of the best artists to walk this planet. Such a sad loss. I hope I did the song justice :-)
Don't forget to have a listen to my original music and also checkout Campbell Jensen and their new album Turtle Cottage. www.gavindavies.co.uk/ www.campbelljensenmusic.com/
Do you break the rules when writing songs?
Thanks for watching, not sure I am improving yet, far to many mmmmmmmmm's!! I shall keep practicing.
This was my very first attempt to talk to the camera for any length of time. Felt really strange at first but got a little easier towards the end. Any thoughts or advice on how to do this better would be very welcome. Thanks for listening and sorry for starting off with Cliff the Richard :-) X
