  • S8E13: David Gray
    Dec 1 2024

    This week we welcome David Gray to the Rockonteurs podcast. David releases his 13th album in January. He will also embark on a huge world tour next year too that plays shows at the London Palladium and the Royal Albert Hall. A third night has just been added for the Palladium on May 10th. Tickets and info at www.davidgray.com

    Chances are you had a copy of ‘White Ladder’ when it came out as it was one of the best-selling British albums of recent decades, full of beautiful hits that have stood the test of time and it paved the way for countless singer songwriters to follow, like Hozier, Ed Sheeran, and many more. This is a fascinating listen between fellow songwriters as he and Gary discuss the craft of writing great lyrics, and Guy digs into his influences and musical heroes.
