I'm a singer and a guitarist .. and the least prolific long standing contributor to icomps (I've been here over 5 years now !)
I'm a vocal chameleon (or a musical tart), I sing / write songs in a variety of styles... from country ballads to rock.
My listening tastes cross all genres, from Metal, Rock and Blues to Funk, Jazz, a bit of Blue Grass, Country and Pop.
I'm only an occasional gigging musician now .. 2 young sons and associated responsibilities have put paid to that, so I fill my music time with writing and recording.
I love messing with Garageband and Logic Express .. I'm learning all the while, this hobby has given me the opportunity to collaborate with some cool musicians from all over the world.
Some of my latest songs ..
FALLING (2009)
A song written a long time ago, It features my 2 buddies Brett and James (on Bass and Drums) .. always a pleasure to play with my old band mates.
GREED
The tale of our times .. the Bankers and Politicians lost site of what's morally right in the persuit of more ... when is enough, enough ? You have to wonder what the hell is going on !
STAND FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE
I guess this is a political song, without being left or right.. it's about standing up for your beliefs whether political, religious or moral.
DREAMS Did you ever have a dream (s) did they come true for you, or are you still chasing them ? This is my first song done in Logic.. Hope you enjoy it.
LULABYE Another song with James Moore (Drums) and Brett Field (Bass). It's an up tempo song originally written as an acoustic lulabye for my 2 yr old son. It's changed a little, but the sentiment remains the same.
WAITING FOR YOU TO CALL Another 6/8 time sig rock song, kinda John Mellencamp style with a hint of Folk.
TRAVELLING MAN A blues / rock song in the same vein as Cry of Freedom / Bad Company / Free.
Winner of the iComps Summer Song Contest 2007.....
THE SOUND OF OUR SUMMER It's a mix of reggae/blues and rock, and features my old band mates James Moore on drums and Brett Field on bass, the perfect rhythm section.
Thanks for taking time to read my ramblings, have a listen to my tunes and PLEASE leave some feedback .. GOOD, BAD OR UGLY... I will not mind as long as you're being honest, ...you couldn't be more honest than my wife is about my music !!

... Davy Knowles, not my words but those of Peter Frampton, who has just produced his new album. He's 21 years old (I hate him) and originally comes from the Isle of Mann.
