We are building a history of the life and times of Cyril Davies through the memories of many of the artists who appeared with him - Musicians' Recollections - and the many other people who remember seeing and hearing Cyril as they were growing up through these years - Guest Book. If you have anything you want to add please send your recollections to us for inclusion. The site is divided up into sections on Cyril's Career, the Recollections of Musicians of the times, a Discography of Cyril's Recording, and a people who documented the times is being written. Links to these sections are provided at the bottom of this page. Latest Updates:
About two years ago, Sanctuary were planning to release a double CD of virtually all of Cyril's recordings, Preaching the Blues, a Tribute Album, but it was cancelled when they were taken over by Universal. Details were pre-released and you can still find it on some web sites. None were ever sold. We are also seeking information on the infamous 'London Blues & Barrelhouse Club', the intimate up-stairs venue found on the corner of Wardour and Brewer Streets in London's Soho. This venue is most commonly referred to as 'The Roundhouse or Round House' - which was actually the public house below the 'London Blues & Barrelhouse Club' on the street level. If you have any memories or photographs, please let us know! Michelle Whitby contacted us to say her new book Eel Pie Island is finished and will be available in October 2009. Cyril and the All Stars get a mention.
