Mark PaveyOpis:Review Three years managing and producing the legendary Davy Graham definitely shows through in Mark Pavey's debut album. Simplicity is the key here: Pavey's guitar is very delicate and not showy, which is not to say that it is at all amateur, simply perfectly measured and applied, and forms a beautiful accompaniment to Pavey's delicious voice. I was singing along to each one before it had finished on the first listen. His reworking of the traditional `Live Not Where I Love' is particularly impressive, taking something firmly rooted in the folk genre and giving it a fresh twist. Someone to make an effort to see live." -- Kate Lewis, Acoustic Magazine Issue 35, 2009Heads Up # 21 - Mark PaveySometimes preconceptions can be a bad thing - indeed as the protégé of Folk icon Davy Graham, Mark Pavey has something of a legacy to live up to on the release his debut self titled album. Where Pavey has come up trumps though is by shying away from the tired clichés that so much modern folk seems to fall into, and instead finding his own voice throughout - keeping the histrionics to a minimum and crafting a delicate, concise debut collection. Dressing his songs in tasteful washes of acoustic guitars and pianos, Pavey clearly has a cinematic feel to production and it's the flashes of strings and interesting counterpoints that provide the drama throughout - all the while however managing to retain focus where it needs to be - on the songs, and the everyman vocals (recalling the ilkes of Damon Gough and Steven Fretwell for two) A subtle little gem all told then from Pavey who has set his stall out as a songwriter of some note. Definitely one to keep an eye -- oldagehipster.blogspot/ Product Description Debut Album from Singer Songwriter Mark Pavey, featuring tracks written by Jackson C Frank and Bert Jansch From the Artist NORTH Wales singer song-writer Mark Pavey releases his debut album this November. Hailing from Llandudno via Oxford and London, Mark is steadily becoming a word of mouth success story. In 2004 he set up his own label Les Cousin Records to promote and explore the music of the sixties folk revival based on the ideals of the famous London Soho folk cellar. In his quest for folk authenticity fate lent its hand and Mark's voyage of discovery led to the rediscovery and a close friendship with one of Britain's greatest ever guitar-playing legends; Davy Graham. Earlier this month Mark spoke to Ronnie Parry from his West Shore studio in Llandudno about how the road began. It starts during his school days, leads to an involvement with the folk scene, meeting up with Davy Graham, how their friendship and collaboration developed, what he learnt from the great man, how a debut album was spawned from the teachings and what Davy's rich legacy really is. "Back in my teens I was a lot more into pop and mainstream stuff, especially the Indie scene in Manchester," said Mark. "But at the same time I was aware of rockabilly and Buddy Holly. I once played in a school band concert playing Eddie Cochrane's C'mon Everybody when I was eleven. When I heard Nick Drake's music for the first time at sixteen I was drawn in. There was that late-adolescent tone which resonated with me. And I wanted to explore further. I had already picked up on finger-style guitar playing from The Beatles' White Album; in particular John Lennon's song Julia. Around that time my mum paid for me to take some lessons from a jazz player called Steve who drove a Citroen CV. He was a fine, dedicated musician. "The first week I started at University Blur and Oasis released Morning Glory and Great Escape; which led me into being interested in Indie music again. At the time it was considered somewhat unusual to have both records; there was a strong North South divide at Cambridge I suppose. I studied economics and English literature at Cambridge but became more drawn to the art side of my studies. In 2004 I went to a Nick Drake gathering in Tanworth inAutor:Mark PaveyNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: Data wydania: 2009-11-23Waga: 0.13 gramWysokość: 0.4 cmSzerokość: 5 cmDługość: 5.4 cmUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
