About Me

Thanks for visiting; I hope you enjoy the songs.
There’s a whole load of my music ‘out there’ from over the years, but the selection on MySpace is a good start. If you come across songs by ‘Rootcarver’ or ‘Agent J’, then that’s me too.
As for Jay Davies, ‘Big Blue Sky’ has had the honour of being played by BBC Radio 1 and Radio 2 over the years. There’s even a ‘live-lounge’ version of it, being played on Dermot O’Leary’s Saturday Radio 2 show, which you can find on my website. The proper studio version is available on iTunes (see below).
As for now, a new EP is recorded and ready for release. It’s called ‘Wall Street’ and the title song is up for you to listen to. The other 2 songs on the EP are called ‘Plymouth Sound’ and ‘Western War’. I recently performed them live on BBC Radio Devon, so hopefully I’ll put those versions up on my site soon.
There’s a nice little write up on BBC Devon about the ‘Wall Street’ EP, which you can find by following the link below.
Cheers,
Jay Davies.
November 2008 - Jay Davies is no longer available on iTunes. For what it's worth, I've turned right off iTunes and don't dig DRM policies. If you would like some music, get in touch and I'll send you a personalised, nicely designed CD.
