Davey Graham - Folk Britannia

Back



Seeing the very little Davey Graham footage on here, I've uploaded an excerpt from BBC4's Folk Britannia Episode 2. Includes footage of his TV performance of "She moves through the fair" and a brief interview with the man himself. New Video, same documentary: http://youtube.com/watch?v=RRI7IEp4aek

Guitars Are Percussion Instruments

Well not exactly. They're string instruments, But plucked strings do have a very percussive sound. :)

Davey Graham ... what a genius. I was able to enjoy Shirley Collins' singing once I got used to the fact that she never quite sounds on key (to my ear). Oddly, Julie Driscoll seems to "wander" in a similar way although so far as I know the two women came from very different backgrounds (I don't know that Driscoll had ANY training... ?) It's too bad that Folk Roots, New Routes still remains an "obscure" album.

so the one guy saying jimmy page stole stairway from davey graham.. shouldnt it be more true to say spirit stole taurus which is the song people say jimmy got the intro from.. its A COMMON PROGRESSION!!! PAGE DIDNT STEAL STAIRWAY.. HE influenced this into white summer definately.. black mountain side was taken from jansch but it sounds to me like jansch got alot of hints on how to write blackwater side from this song.. they say jansch owes a debt to graham as does page on certain stuff
