Blair Davie Tickets

Blair Davie’s story is one of perseverance. This young Scottish artist is destined to be one of our most inspiring new stars, who possesses one of those rare voices that has the power to speak to our very souls. 

Their new EP, 'First and Last', is testament to Davie’s prodigious talent both as a vocalist and songwriter. Inspired largely by their long-term relationship, it is a startlingly intimate portrait of the kind of love Davie never expected to find. These are songs filled with reverence and gratitude for the sacred bond they share with their partner, reflecting on past, present and future. 

Born in Perth, Scotland, Davie was raised by a family of musicians, including their mum’s side, many of whom were bagpipers. Davie, who is non-binary, recalls at age six, their dad picked up the guitar, and soon his guitar teacher was instructing Davie, too. “It was like unlocking a treasure chest, such a joyous moment.”

Another turning point was when Davie’s father booked a few studio sessions, noticing Davie had enough songs to put an album together. “That was really the moment I fell in love with the piano, too”. Davie was further inspired by the walls of CDs on every wall in the studio: “I realised that people actually make albums, that this was something you could do, it could be your job. From there, I guess it became an obsession – I started spending all my time finding a way to make this my job.”

Music also proved to be a way for Davie to channel their hurt and fear after facing vicious bullying while at school. In music, they were able to remind themselves that our differences are what make us special. Early songs such as “Coming of Age”, a jangling pop-rock track, demonstrated their astonishing emotional acuity and willingness to bare their soul, singing. This evident talent, and in one so young, saw Davie shortlisted for the prestigious Ivor Novello Rising Star Award in 2024, having also been championed by BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Music Introducing, and Amazon Music UK.
