About Davey
Davey,
otherwise known as 'The Ramone' is a Bodhran player with Albannach.
He was introduced to primal pipes and drums while with a previous
band that a lot of you might recognise him from.
The stresses of touring eventually got to him and Davey took a break
in 2004. In the spring of 2006, Davey was asked if he wanted to join
a new band with some old friends, and after such a long break he
jumped at the chance !
Davey has been steadily composing music for the last few years and
was encouraged by the positive response to the ballad "Rebel King"
that he composed a couple of years ago.
He has been involved with live music acts for over ten years now; a
bass guitarist in Scottish folk and punk bands, hundreds of
impromptu folk sessions at festivals, and even spoken word recitals
of the poetry of Robert Burns. Over the last twenty years, he
has tried his hand at tattooing, and more notably sculpture, where
his pieces have been selling steadily. Davey has been drawing
since the age of four, so he is an accomplished artist. His current
hobbies are learning to play guitar, as well as writing short
stories and memoirs, which some of you have been exposed to on the
website.
For the future Davey hopes to continue to promote the bands diverse
Scottish culture and heritage, and to bring the music of Albannach
to an increasingly widespread audience. He wants to build on the
solid base of the first album and continue to play with Albannach
for as long as he can execute my world renowned "Reverse Burl". Davey wants to express his thanks to Donnie, Jamesie, Jacquie, Kyle
and the irrepressible Aya for inviting their "Auld Da" back, and to
Donovan for being brave enough to even try to channel this musical
madness... last, but never least his wife Kimberly who backs him to
the very hilt in every daft endeavour !
