Geth is the guitarist for The 1965, the bassist for Sound City, and one of our wedding pianists - here is an interview with our resident rockstar:

Who got you into music?

Freddie Mercury, my brother, my parents and my music teacher Walter Glyn Davies.

Who are your musical influences?

Anything that's good. My influences changed as I grew up. My dad was a great musician and played with the likes of ‘Gerry and the Pacemakers’. He put me onto Don Williams, Cash, Duane Eddy and traditional Irish music. Then Jerry Lee, Sun Ra, Queen, Y Cyrff, Sabbath, Deep Purple, Slayer, Smashing Pumpkins, etc etc. I'm very much into extreme music, be it any style. I'm a big fan of black metal such as Behemoth but also some strange classical stuff. Love The Clash too. If it's good, it's good.

What is your favourite song to play live?

The last song in the set. Because I'm usually knackered! Erm, 'George Harrison‘ I Got My Mind Set On You' for Sound City. For The 1965 it’s ‘Play That Funky Music’ - I get to shred.

What do you enjoy most about playing live?

Just playing tunes the audience enjoy listening to. I also enjoy the challenge of keeping the floor full by reading the vibe. The banter is good fun too, especially in Sound City. You never know what's going to happen. That's why it's very entertaining. We don't write setlists, we let the audience dictate what we play. As we play totally live we can jump into any song really... And we usually do.

What do you feel is the hardest thing about being a wedding musician?

Nothing. We play to nice people, become old bald rock stars for 2 hours and get fed. It's all good.

Do you have any stand-out gigs that you've played in the past?

Before this I was in a band playing original stuff. We put the Christmas lights on in a large town with Napalm Death one year. I guess that was epic. I've also played with The Commitments which was interesting. Most of the weddings I play are memorable. Great chips, great tunes, great people. It always ranges.
