David Gray

Hi all.  Here is my idea to see how well we know DG's favorites.  I'll start the list and you add to it.  Rena, hope you are cool with this.

1)  The Peregrine (the book and the bird)

2)  Manchester United F.C.

3)  Painting

uh... Tennis?

(I recall him talking about it whilst on the last tour) 

Thanks Teemto. That I did not remember.

I'll add suits, shoes (like red Gucci loafers), and sushi. 

I will miss the blue and green tartan plaid rugs if the Church is sold. Not sure if he loves them or just didn't feel the need to get rid of them.  At least Annie could tease him about it.

- not playing shows in europe

Whenever David Ford did a tour, he would always visit the world - he would make sure that every fan got to see a show

Of course. DCA invited every fan of David Ford in the world to his birthday party 

actually to my knowledge Ford has never toured Europe..............

back on topic............

Welsh coast with the dog

hmmmm.... where did I recently hear David mention that he was positively freaked out by animals? Must have been on youtube somewhere (or instagram?). I know my jaw dropped in disbelief....

So maybe (hopefully) he was just joking? or referring to extinct mammoths and furry tarentulas exclusively? This must be the single piece of info about David that just didn't make sense to me..... then again, to each his own, right?

ooops, 9:55am, showtime!!!

Ak11, thank you...  -> not playing in europe <-

Your point is the most important point. Why he doesn't like to play in europe??

Every new tour-date is for the USA or the UK. It's only sad !

David, I'm looking forward to see you again.. (in europe)

for you!

Helen-I can't believe he is freaked out by animals!  I think that one must be a joke.  He just posted a pic of browsing/shopping in a farm supply store with Fiebing's hoof moisturizer (on his  last tour).  Hmmmm. He does like birdwatching and I think he knows his birds. 

AK- I don't know why he doesn't tour Europe?  Never say never.

I'll add to what I know:

Fourstar+ Hotels

Wine

Phosphorescent

Radiohead

maybe because that would catapult him back to the: 9pm barbecue, 10pm david gray days?

I don't get it 

nevermind ak, that's because it's an insider... ha! just kiddin' dood.

"They sent us out into the Mid West on some fucking bullshit, half-assed scheme," he says. "It was really depressing. We arrived at one venue and there was a huge sign outside: 'TONITE: Barbecue Ribs - Sold Out. David Gray - 8 o'clock.' When you're less of a draw than barbecue ribs, you've got to ask yourself some serious questions!

what i wanted to say was that europe obviously doesn't appreciate dg enough and not the other way 'round.
