  • Bio

    I'm a singer, guitarist, lryic loving, protest-type activist with a few songs to boot. Yes - I've played with him and her and those folks and them, recorded with so and so etc. But......basically I'm human and have all the charateristics that go along with it. And I reckon that puts me in a good position to draw attention through music to the plight of other humans with greater or lesser things to face......!! .... KEEP DROPPING BY !!! .... .... .. .. .. .. .. ................ .... ..Officially........ .... "Very beautiful music……I can thoroughly recommend this album (Water & Light)".. .. Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2...... "Water & Light may well be one of the most perfect singer-songwriter albums that you will hear this year, or indeed any year.".. ..Mike Wilson - Folking.com...... "…..intelligent songs which make a point gently and invoke sympathy……..someone to be taken quite seriously".".. ..fROOTS...... "Some artists often sing in the name of one cause or another without conviction, but that is not the case here. The legacy of well-written, descriptive music laid down by Woody Guthrie, still lives on here in the UK" ....Maverick (5 Stars)...... "It's really refreshing to hear a quality songwriter like Gareth Davies-Jones, who has something to say and says it without fuss. Moving writing … all round class musicianship.".. ..Karine Polwart...... "Gareth is a fresh new voice … real songs with some real things to say, in a melodic and entertaining way. He's a fine addition to the troubadour tradition.".. ..Jez Lowe...... "Gareth Davies-Jones - currently one of the UK's best-kept musical secrets…… powerful songs and affecting performances".. ..Properganda...... "Rich and soulful vocals, a fine ear for melody and mastertful acoustic guitar playing".. ..RocknReel.. ......In The Bleak Mid Winter: Gareth Davies-Jones - Live on Bishop FM 21st Dec 2009...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... ...... ......Book me for a house concert in your home!...... .. ..Butterfly: Gareth Davies-Jones.... .. .. .. .. .. .. .... ..The Rover Of The Sea: Gareth Davies-Jones.. .... .. .. .. .. .. ..br>.. ..

    2010 June 19th: Gareth came and did a concert at St Michael & All Angels, Middlewich along with his friend Calum Stewart. I did the PA, if you are considering hiring them, singly or together I for one can thoroughly recommend them. They created a wonderful soulful atmosphere in our church that I suspect will take a long time to equal in another concert never mind better. The tunes are truly, beautifuly melodic and the lyrics incredibly moving.

    Thank you both so much for coming, it was a privelidge to listen.

    Gareth,
    I don't believe it!!!! At the end of March your up here for a few days, and I'm on Lindisfarne - I know HE has a sense of humour but it's sometimes a wee bit difficult to appreciate. Have a successful trip north, and I'll try and catch you when you are next up in the 'shire.

    As aye

    Hi Gareth!
    I recently bought your CD water & light. I'm really enjoying it! Great music. Reminds me somehow of Martyn Joseph, Luka Bloom, and...Noel Shannon. Don't now if you have ever heared of him, it's an Irish dutchmen...
    I was wondering, what kind of guitar are you using on the album? Is it the Simon and Patrick throughout?
    I recently bought myself a S&P Showcase Flame Maple for very little money and I'm totally digging the sound of it!
    I'll be happy to hear from you. God bless!
