About Gareth Davies-Jones
Singer, songwriter, story-teller and producer, Gareth has been writing, recording and performing as a professional musician for twenty years. The lead songwriter from Howay The Lasses, a collaborator with folk luminaries like Megson, Calum Stewart, Celtish and Yvonne Lyon, from community halls to concert halls, he has travelled the length of the UK armed with a rich distinctive voice and two decades worth of perceptive, compelling songwriting spanning sixteen albums and song-writing collaborations. His solo performances are known for gathering people together, inviting audiences to travel with him into a world of landscapes, history, characters and causes all underpinned with assured vocals and the warmth and vibrancy of a beautifully played array of stringed instruments. From stories of heroism on the Irish Sea to gentle praise for a Loire Valley village, from insight into the lives of pitman painters to musical tributes to the iconic lighthouses and captivating landscapes that define Northern Britain - Gareth's music is as much story-telling adventure as it is musical entertainment.
“..an accomplished live performer.... observant of traditional music but building on it, playing and singing elegantly; time in the company of someone you may just have come across – and you’re rather glad that you have.”
Mike Wistow, Folking.com
“... 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
“A singer-songwriter in the troubadour tradition...songs with a deep humanity at their heart”

“Not just good, but good for the soul.”
