David Gray

David Gray is one of those artists whose music has genuinely soundtracked people's lives. Babylon, Please Forgive Me, This Year's Love — songs that felt deeply personal to millions of people all over the world. But what really sits at the heart of David's story is something so pure and so human — a love of music so deep and so consuming that it has driven everything he has ever done. And then there's the live experience — the extraordinary connection that happens between an artist and an audience when a song lands in a room full of people (even if touring is sometimes difficult). For David, that feeling is everything. He's a perfect Midpoint guest because reaching this point in life and career doesn't dim that fire — if anything it deepens it. The love of the craft, the thrill of performing, the relationship with an audience built over decades — at the midpoint, all of that means more, not less. His story is really a love story — between an artist, his music, and the people who have shared it with him. This is a joyful, warm and deeply honest conversation about creativity, connection and what it means to dedicate your life to something you truly love.David Gray’s new album Nightjar, a companion to his 2005 No.1 record Life in Slow Motion, is out now via Bella Figura. He’ll be touring across the UK and Ireland this summer as part of his Past & Present World Tour (21 dates).More info: https://www.davidgray.com/ Hosted on Acast.
