Reverend Gary Davis

Reverend Gary Davis or Blind Gary Davis was a hugely influential blues and gospel guitarist and singer, born in 1896. He is a true legend of music. The Reverend moved to New York from the Carolinas in the 1930s having cut his teeth with other blues greats such as Blind Blake and Blind Boy Fuller. 

Davis was well known in New York as a street player and singer. He also taught many students to play the guitar. A larger than life character, full of humour, the 1960s saw his popularity escalate during the folk revival period which was prominent in New York city at the time. His students would take him to coffee houses, concerts and church gatherings where he would deliver his music in his inimitable style. He charged $5 for a lesson which would often end up as a whole day at his flat in an edgy part of New York, with the Rev. teaching blues and music which would otherwise have been lost. 

As a Reverend, in later life Gary Davis would only ever talk his blues songs, and the Lord would look the other way when he did so, as blues songs were considered to be unholy

Milk Kan

Milk Kan are a top dollar band who make great music loaded up with observation and humour. Their track Bling Bling Baby includes the line "So keep on running on your treadmills, and choking on your vitamin pills", a brilliant take on the state of much of English culture during Labour's reign of terror. Scrappy Hood for President!

Eddie Richards

Eddie Richards has been a prominent feature of the UK House music scene since its inception in the mid 1980s. Dubbed as the UK's Godfather of House, he has been at the very heart of the UK's Dj, nightclub and House music scene for generations, since the time when nightclubs first started opening in the UK. As an idea of the influence he has had, Eddie was the first person to bring Djs such as Richie Hawtin, Derrick May, Moby, Jeff Mills and Todd Terry to the UK, via the UK's first Dj agency Dy-Na-Mix, which he created. He is also credited as being a main curator of the Tech House sound.

Today, Eddie Richards remains an authority in House music. He continues to work as a cutting edge Dj, producer and label boss whose sound is distinctively underground with a raw, forward looking yet classic feel. Eddie also works with Nathan Coles and Terry Francis to complete the trio of Wiggle residents, the groundbreaking London based Tech House institution where the real Tech House sound originates from.

Eddie Richards has done a fascinating interview with DJ History which is strongly recommended reading. Some very interesting stuff in there, including great info on his career, details about Larry Levan's set up, a story about Pete Tong which.....well.....

Somehow, it is reassuring to know that Eddie Richards is still going strong, against the seemingly relentless tide. Here is some music from Eddie's long and distinguished career
