Now But Not Yet - Press Text Eagerly Anticipated Brand New Solo Album from well travelled singer-songwriter Gareth Davies-Jones: The first since 2010. Recorded at The Foundry Music Lab in Motherwell, Scotland Gareth brings some 10 years of professional songwriting and touring experience to this fine collection of completely original songs. "Now But Not Yet" takes in topics as diverse as a tribute to international children's education advocate Malala Yousefzai, the story of an unexploded First World War mine and a haunting musical picture of the longingly iconic lighthouse of Rua Reidh in North West Scotland. Laced with his trademark vocal style, strong sense of melody and perceptive lyrics this is an impressive return to the kind of form that saw the former album “Water & Light” hit the air-waves in force back in 2008/9. There’s a rich variety of instrumentation on this album too. The mandocello, acoustic guitar, tenor guitar, mandolin, banjo, upright bass and piano all appear - all played by the artist. Joining Gareth on the recording and with an impressive studio debut on backing vocals is Bronwen Davies-Jones. As you may have guessed she is Gareth's daughter and the way in which the harmonies effortlessly blend on tracks like "Hundred Year Skin" and “Montsoreau” lend plenty of credence to the idea that blood harmonies are among the most beautiful an ear can hear. A great album - well worth your investment in terms of cash and listening time. You will be richly rewarded ! "Gareth is a singer/songwriter of the highest quality with a superb voice and excellent instrumental technique on guitar and mandocello.  He had the audience spellbound and in the palm of his hand from the outset Folk North West  "Very beautiful music.
