About Davy Graham
Davy Graham is a guitarist, singer and arranger who revolutionised guitar playing in the early sixties and has enjoyed a long career as England's greatest: if often over-looked, guitarist.
Revered by several generations of guitarists, he invented the Folk -Baroque style, invented a modal tuning system for the guitar called DADGAD and composed the signature tune of the sixties folk revival, Anji.
There is a danger of letting many gems slip through the gaps of rigidly imposed labels; it is unwise to think of Davy in terms of 'Folk Music'.
Davy has demonstrated that folk music has as much right to be thought about and developed as art music or jazz. He has been influenced by these forms as well as by folk, Indian and Arabic and also Occidental.
His music, a blend of so much, is itself a minature universe, "I write my own complete music, resulting from a fusion of influences."
"I'm a traveller really, I would die as a person if I stayed in place for more than a year, I like to change my impressions and refresh my personality. My roots are in my music, and in my friends, that’s enough..."
"Probably England's greatest guitarist." PAUL SIMON
"A traveling man who had made the fabled journey down to Tangiers when the rest of us still had our sights set on Brighton pier." JOHN RENBOURN
"He's my absolute hero, always will be." BERT JANSCH
"I wanted to be Davy Graham." JOHN MARTYN
"Davy was and is the Man." MARTIN CARTHY
Davy Graham and FabFilter
Mark Pavey, Davy's producer, downloaded the demos of FabFilter Pro-C and have started using it in his current productions.
"The comparison with my host program's built-in compressor is astounding: with FabFilter Pro-C it sounds like Davy is in a top studio in 1968 recording straight to brand new tape!."
"It has a made a substantial difference to our records. We will now use it on everything we do."
