Seeing the very little Davey Graham footage on here, I've uploaded an excerpt from BBC4's Folk Britannia Episode 2. Includes footage of his TV performance of "She moves through the fair" and a brief interview with the man himself.

New Video, same documentary: http://youtube.com/watch?v=RRI7IEp4aek

  • Massive thumbs down to Jimmy Page here, as far as i can i remember DG always had "traditional,arr. Davey Graham" on his credits whereas JP always seemed to claim he wrote them, pretty out of order if you ask me...DGs influence on JP was massive and i find it pretty disgusting that he never gave him the recognition he deserved

  • I would love it if you downloaded this whole documentary on to You Tube, since we didn't get it in the US and it's not available on dvd. This is just excellent!

    RIP Davey.

  • i have a dream

  • yup...particularly when you hear how Davey struggled terribly with alcohol and drug addiction through much of his life, im sure the royalties from a few songwriting credits (Stairway to Heaven ffs!!) would have helped Davey no end and at least would have shown him the courtesy, respect and recognition DG so clearly deserves..."BOOO!!! to you Mr. Page!!"

  • @neilus yeah man what an eye opener, i just now discovered davey graham and i am just blown away by the influence this guy had on everything i listen to (led zep, nick drake, bert jansch, etc. etc.)

  • search nicolas and the iceni vassal song. they write great folk music which has echoes of davy, drake and denny.

  • Now, everyone, check out 'Whatever happened to Dav(e)y Graham', BBC broadcast, and get some answers.

    Don't be too hard on Jimmy Page, folks: everyone aspired to the 'Soho Style', but very few of us (not me!) ever got there with Graham, Jansch, Renbourn et al. If you want to talk credits, sic that bastard Simon over Martin Carthy's 'Scarborough Fair' - 35 years to give him credit and a lifetime to give him any money - Prat! And think about about it - how many bridges 'lay themselves down'.

  • @TubaGirl01 Angie, or Anji, was written by Graham. Jansch covered it

  • Does anybody know tha name of the last song ?

  • @TubaGirl01

    Thanks!

    

  • @Serethen Whoops, actually its Angie by Bert Jansch.
