Biography:
Davy Knowles has known what he wanted to do with his life since the age of 11.
I was in the car with my dad, and he put on a cassette of Dire Straits' 'Sultans of Swing,'" explains the 21-year-old guitarist, singer and songwriter. "I just fell in love with the music then and there. That track changed my life, and I realized, 'I really want to be able to do that.'
Hailing from the Isle of Man, the tiny kingdom in the middle of the Irish Sea, might have posed a challenge to that childhood epiphany for a lesser talent.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Very funny song posted by Davy on his facebook page after he and his sister took a trip
to Malta. The song is pretty straight forward with the same chord progression through
every verse and there is no chorus. He plays it with a capo on the 3rd fret.

Capo 3
Intro: C C7 F Fm C G C G-C
Verses 1-7:
C C7
After a rather tough year, we booked a holiday
F Fm
Under the sun, by a sandy bay
C G C G-C
We packed up our bags and we left
C C7
We checked into the hotel and our hopes were high
F Fm
But this swarm of god damned students shoved right by
C G C G-C
They nearly knocked us off our god damned feet
C C7
We fought them to the lift but we didn't stand a chance
F Fm
When we finally got in we were pressed against the glass
C G C G-C
Stopping and hitting every floor
C C7
Safely in our room, mildly annoyed
F Fm
We poured ourselves a glass of wine, then we heard a noise
C G C G-C
It was the god damned students shouting from below
C C7
So we went up to the pool, looking for a spite
F Fm
The students were already there, shouting with all their might
C G C G-C
Is there nowhere in this place that we can go
C C7
Well I thought that I might dip a toe, maybe take the plunge
F Fm
But it was overrun with students absorbing water like a sponge
C G C G-C
They mocked me while I loitered by the pool
C C7
I was just about to take the dive when one of them jumped in
F Fm
And I thought to myself, well I hope that he can't swim
C G C G-C
But he floated like a god damned greasy cork
-Solo-
Verses 8-13:
C C7
Well back down in the corridors, weaving in and out
F Fm
The students lying on the floor, I gave a little shout
C G C G-C
As I tripped over a god damned iPhone wire
C C7
Enraged by this point, well I asked the hotel staff
F Fm
Is there something you can do, but all they did was laugh
C G C G-C
The students are here to stay
C C7
They came from Italy, Germany, Espana too
F Fm
But their presence in this hotel makes me want to bash a few
C G C G-C
I'll tell you some lessons you should learn
C C7
Don't monopolize the lift, don't go running in the hall
F Fm
Don't take selfies on the roof unless you plan to fall
C G C G-C
I'll tell you something else that you should learn
C C7
Don't yell in the dead of night, try to learn something each day
F Fm
Most importantly of all, please stay out of our way
C G C G-C
We've paid for our hotel room as well
C C7
We should've gone to Briton, or maybe Mexico
F Fm
Or anywhere there is, where the students will not go
C G C G-C C7 (ring)
Next year we will take a holiday at home
to Malta. The song is pretty straight forward with the same chord progression through
every verse and there is no chorus. He plays it with a capo on the 3rd fret.
