Welcome to the music of Des Owen If you like my music then I'm a happy man.  I started singing in folk clubs when I was under drinking age and found, like most, that this business can be cruel.  I kept writing songs and trying to play them to as many as would listen I guess.  After a while I tried my hand at singing for money.  I didn't get rich, of course, but I travelled the country and met many wonderful people - luckily mostly deaf. On the Circuit For many years I played the club and pub circuit in North Wales, Yorkshire, London, Oxford and a few other areas.  Humping your gear around is exhausting but it paid the rent.  I don't think I ever had a bad night except for one night in Yorkshire when my PA blew up. Concerts Rock Although really scary, concerts are what I now enjoy the most.  I don't do many but those I have done have usually been with friends as guests to mix up the evening somewhat.  The last concert was for the Children of Chernobyl and we managed to raise £5,000.  The next concert is being planned for August 2011 as part fo the famous Conwy River Festival. Music Nights at the NWCC My current focus is hosting a music night at the North Wales Cruising Club in Conwy, North Wales.  I've had fantastic guests helping me out and everyone is enjoying these shows very much.
