Blair Davie | Cryptic Artist of the Week in Scotland On Sunday, 15 May 2022
Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. Read on Scotsman.com
Blair Davie is a captivating young artist hailing from Perth. One of the best artists we saw performing at Creative Scotland’s showcase at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton last week, not only were his songs beautifully written, they also touched us (and seemingly the entire room) on an emotional level. For an emerging musician, to win over a roomful of strangers with relative ease, was very impressive.
Sometimes co-written with his friend Kyle Fummey, Davie’s songs explore themes like heartbreak, bullying and coming to terms with his bisexuality, and a particular highlight was his second single Platform 10, released earlier this month.
There are plenty of opportunities see Davie live and we recommend you do so soon. He plays London’s Notting Hill Arts Club on 26 May supports Under The Radar favourites Fatherson at Glasgow’s The Barrowlands on 28 May and performs at Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival in Beauly on 30 July.
