Davy knowles

We hosted another concert Saturday night at the music venue where we volunteer. Davy Knowles has been to the Baker Street Centre (formerly C2G Music Hall) several times. He seems to have quite a loyal following, and it was good to have him back.

I wasn't sure what to expect for a crowd - what with all the new covid stuff and the night before halloween. It wasn't the largest of crowds, but it turned out not too bad. There were around 200 regular tickets sold and just over 50 in Gold Circle (we are Gold Circle ticket-takers). Tickets were $25 for regular and $50 for Gold. 

I honestly couldn't recall Davy's music from before, but was pretty sure he played Rock/Blues. As soon as I heard him speak (as he ran from the green room to the restroom) I quickly recalled the chap. He hails from the Isle of Man, and has an honest nifty accent. Apparently he currently resides in Chicago, and was looking forward to returning home after the show.

One thing I will say about Davy and his three-piece band is... they were there to play music! There was very little chit-chat, no long tirades, and nothing political... just straight-on, wailing, rock and blues! It was grand. And, the crowd was up to snuff and made it a fun night. Another great show!

1 Samuel 16:14-17

Now the Spirit of the Lord had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him.

Saul’s attendants said to him, “See, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you. Let our lord command his servants here to search for someone who can play the lyre. He will play when the evil spirit from God comes on you, and you will feel better.”

So Saul said to his attendants, “Find someone who plays well and bring him to me.”
