Alexis Korner, of Blues Incorporated singled Davy out and organized his

 first record "3/4 AD" for Topic in 1962. The EP contained the authenticated

 version of "Angi" and was what a generation of players caught between

 Skiffle and R&B had been waiting for. It's almost impossible to describe the

 effect of that one record.

 In 1964, Davy was recorded live at Troubadour in Earls Court, shortly after

 he had got back from Tangiers. In North Africa, he had come up with a new

 tuning more compatible with the music of the oud - DADGAD. He exploited the

 potential of the tuning to explore the modal characteristics of the old

 Irish air; the arrangement unfolding from a slow beginning and then drawn

 out and danced with, only to be put back gently and reverently in place.
