The Music of David Gray
Wikipedia says, “Gray moved from Manchester to Wales at the age of nine. He grew up in the small coastal town of Solva in Pembrokeshire and attended the Carmarthenshire College of Art. He later moved to the north-west of England to attend the University of Liverpool.
His musical career received early support from a dedicated Republic of Ireland fan base.
Gray’s first two albums A Century Ends and Flesh were issued in 1993 and 1994 respectively and led to Gray becoming popular in folk-rock circles, but both failed to do any serious business in terms of commercial sales.
In 1996 Gray released his third album, Sell, Sell, Sell. With his first two albums having been entirely composed of acoustic folk music, this was his first mature exhibition and saw him use his now-trademark blend of folk, alternative rock and electronics for the first time. Despite critical acclaim, the album did not chart, but the song “Late Night Radio” received some airplay on alternative UK radio stations.” Link

Oh! he lived in Wales… that explains it. I thought it was going on to say he released 8500 more cds that all sound exactly the same. Im going to have to take advantage of that wiki :-)
