Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey’s Interview with Davy Watson
Davy Watson is a musician from Belfast. A singer/songwriter with influences steeped in Rhythm & Blues, Celtic Folk, Americana and Rock n Roll, his songs come from the Heart & Soul.
As a young bass player and singer Davy toured with Philip Lynott and opened for Bob Geldof and the Boomtown Rats at Leixlip Castle. He travelled the length and breadth of Ireland playing in such iconic venues as the Dandelion Market, the Pound Club, the Róisín Dubh and Cork Opera House. A move to Los Angeles saw him playing and recording with Jack Lancaster, Hazel O’Connor and Madonna. Davy formed ‘Trinity’ with Vivian Campbell and was produced by Shel Talmy (Who, Kinks). His song ‘Only Love’ was used in CBS’s prime time series ‘Live Shot’. Davy was also a featured artist on L.A.’s famous KLOS radio.
Returning home, Davy was awarded a MPhil Degree in Music and Media Technologies from Trinity College, Dublin and built on his success in America, touring and recording with Jack L, Henry McCullough and Gráinne Duffy, playing Glastonbury and other prestigious festivals and venues throughout Europe. He opened for Beth Hart at the Royal Albert Hall, on her European tours and most recently in the USA.
In August 2018, Davy performed his music with the Ulster Orchestra to a sell-out crowd in the iconic Ulster Hall, Belfast. A DVD and CD of this concert was released the following year. Returning to the Ulster Hall in Feb ‘22 with a ’trio’, Davy has since been performing with various lineups and on this new ‘single’ is up on his SOAPBOX with a band of friends.
