WYLDE GREEN were formed by Irish man Davey Keogh in 1996. they soon built up a very enthusiastic following all over the south west and stretching up to the midlands. Davey learnt to play music at the age of eight and did his first perfomance at the age of tenat a session in the Bridge House Hotel Tullamore in the Co. Offaly.Shortly afterwards his famley resettled in Birmingham UK where he lived untill the age of 24 playing in his indie band called the SURF DRUMS. He then left Birmingham to follow his dream of surfing which he did for several years all over the world supported by performing his songs. Davey now plays seven instruments which are guitar, mandolin, mandola, bazouki, bodhran, tenor banjo and the highland pipes which he includes in his solo performances under the name BLACK JACK DAVEY. Wylde Green have gone on to play with some of the top names in Irish music from the world famous, grammy award winning band, The Chieftains to the Irish rebel band the Wolftones plus Mary Black and Andy Irvine to name but a few. They have released six albums to date two of which are available through this site, latchico,, and the best of wylde green so far,,
At the moment Davey is recording a new album of modern celtic classics called FOLK, DRUGS AND SAUSAGE ROLLS. featuring songs by some of the best celtic acts from the past 20 years

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
i had a look for you on myspace when i got back from devon and found you, i was talking to you at the sportsman on friday and was very impressed by your performance. we all had a fantastic night!

Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
