I remember reading somewhere that one or both of the Davies brothers went to the same school as Rod Stewart,i Shoreham-on Sea in Sussex,(just outside Brighton).

Let me take you on a little trip my supersonic ship is at your disposal if you feel so inclined

Wish I could write lyrics like that.

Ray Davis album recorded with the Crouch end Chior is really really good.

Thanks for your appreciation, Chopper, but it doesn't help.

Hi Maelitta
Just an update and to put the record staight about Stephen's relationship to the Kinks.... he is not blood related nor a cousin of the Davies brothers Ray and Dave, only across marriages....real shame.

My dads has a brother that is my uncle Kenny Palmer(the dad of Phil Palmer..one of the finest session guitarist about..try google). Ken is married to Ray and Dave's sister Joyce Davies.

My wife is a first cousin of Stephen via Stephen's dad Ronnie. Ronnie's sister Olive is my wife's mum

So if you can work it out this is the link between them, via me Tony Palmer and my wife Jackie.
There is no other link
Down on paper makes it is easier to understand...I hope.

Tony

Man, reading that hurt what little brain I have, I'm going to lie down in a darkened room now. xxx
