Enjoy Your Breakfast John "biscuits and gravy" Davy lives on the outer reaches of the Western Highlands on the off grid community of Scoraig, he and his partner Debbie raise Exmoor Ponies, Cats and Kids and go to the spring for their water and to a windmill for their electricity, so if you email us, please be patient, we need the wind to be in the right direction to reply.
John also goes to the spring for his music, regularly!! Literally treking to gigs all over Scotland (least some of the way, the 3 miles or so to where the tarmac starts) to take in show's. His reviews are featured in Irelands Whisperin & Hollerin http://www.whisperinandhollerin.com England's Net Rhythms, http://www.netrhythms.co.uk he has his own column "Roots Round Up" in Scotlands Crooked Rain http://crookedrain.org.uk/?cat=3 and is UK correspondent to USA's Americana Homeplace. http://www.americanahomeplace.com/NewsCurrent.htm#Americana%20in%20UK click for Johns over view of the UK Americana Scene, and has recently been invited to contribute to http://www.music-news.com/Reviews.asp

Kevin Higgins: Find Your Shine
Kevin Higgins is one of those guys who's been around music all his life but taken a lot of time to find his muse and his metier. It's one of the better aspects of the whole Americana music scene that guys lik… Continue
