Not only is Des Owen better looking than Dafydd Iwan but he also sings and plays better than him.
Last Friday, Des, who does actually bear a resemblance to Dafydd Iwan, treated the club to a fine relaxed set of songs and banter. He ranged from John Denver through to Bob Dylan and an excellent self penned number outlining in simple but effective terms what we’re doing to our planet, performed not from an observers point of view but the from the animals that are effected.
Des has a style of guitar playing that is very deceptive, it seems on the face of it to be very straight forward but when you watch him you realise there’s a lot of skill there. Jeff Blythin was heard to say “Did you hear that, not one bum note” the green eyed monster was seen stalking the room.
Des’s voice like his playing is very easy on the ear with first class enunciation and delivery coupled with an excellent vocal range and like his paying not one bum note. Blythin was heard trying to sing along – but couldn’t.
Put all this together with Des’s friendly personality and we had a first class performance allowing the audience to sit back relax and really enjoy itself, an excellent showcase.
