Rob Russell Davies: The Singers

I've been very lucky in finding a group of singers who really make my songs come to life. All different, but all very good, these talented people have always backed me up 100%, and I thank you all for that. Ladies first...

Naomi Murray




Naomi is only 18 years old and has already appeared on ITV's 'Stars in Their Eyes/Kids', winning her heat and appearing in the final. Twice winner of the 'Wharfdale Musical Festival' in Leeds she recently took first prize on 'Real Radio's R Factor' singing competition. With a fantastic voice and a professionalism that belies her age, I think Naomi will go far.

Beth Wheatley




Beth is currently lead singer with 10 piece function and charity soul band 'Morris and the Minors' but has also sung as a solo singer in clubs and cabaret venues in the north of England. She has won many talent competitions in the UK, and was a finalist in the 'Song for Great Britain contest' which chooses Britain's entry for Eurovision. Beth has a powerful voice which really works on soul, blues and rock although she's equally at home with ballads and show songs.

Lee Clifford




Originally from South Africa and married to ex-'Wozani' member Graham Clifford (see biography), Lee is a natural singer with a terrific ear for music. With Graham, she toured around South Africa and the UK for a few years gigging in pubs, clubs and cabaret venues as the duo 'Foot-C Foot-C'. Their version of 'These Boots Were Made For Walking' reached the top of the South African charts.

Craig Michael



A friend for many years, I first met Craig when he became a fellow Jumpin Jaks 'Duelling pianist' and was quick to realise what an excellent singer he is. With a sweet and natural tone to his voice he makes singing seem effortless. Craig (also known as Trigger to his friends - long story!) is currently touring the cabaret circuit as a solo artist in the UK. A few years ago, he also put in a stint in some of the best known piano bars in Norway. Craig and I have now also put together a duo known as 'Rob 'n Craigs' Incredible Duelling Pianos.

Aiden J Daniels




Aiden divides his time between country music and comedy. As county singer Aiden J Daniels he's appeared at many festivals and venues all over the UK. As funnyman Aiden Jay he tours the cabaret, club and comedy circuit. Aiden's great vocal on 'Give It A Minute' helped us win the Tipperary Peace Prize in 2003.

John Mycroft




I first met John and future wife Karen when we were doing the demo CD for 'The Garden Of Eden'. He's a brilliant singer and a total professional in the studio. (Don't forget the backhander for that one John!) Karen and John have gigged all over the world with long stints in the Middle East and Germany. They can be seen in the UK as cabaret band 'Aztec' and will soon be moving into the country scene as 'Tallulah'.

Tim Delaney




I first came across 'wor lad' back in the 'Wozani' / 'Jester Turtle' days (see biography) when he was on drums and vocals on Sunday jam night. That was a kind of a free for all and anything could happen... and usually did! Later we formed 'Sample This', and in recent years Tim's moved back to his country roots. He was in one of the UK's top country duo's - 'Squirell Tooth Alice' and is currently the drummer / singer with award winning band 'Wrangler'. With a rich bass voice not a million miles away from Chris Rea, Tim's the man for the low bits!
