[edit] Ingoldsby mention

Not being from the UK, I can't judge this, but is the mention of Pat Ingoldsby here significant? If so, can someone add a mention as to why? If not, can we please delete it. Thanks Jgm 14:18, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

If there is a point it is not clear to me. Seems to come via the Pat Ingoldsby page and this link. I suspect someone googled Ingoldsby and then added info gleaned from the results to wikipedia.

Also not explained is the "very wealthy" comment w.r.t. Sale. I remember Sale as being just another part of Manchester, certainly not "very wealthy" but more "ordinary". Now Alderly Edge would be a different thign entirely. What was the autor trying to say here: that DG was born with a silver spoon in his mouth? Calls for an edit by someone who has a clue. --Tagishsimon (talk)

[edit] Dead in the Water

I recall Dead in the Water from A New Day At Midnight being a single in some form - perhaps only promotional. Does anyone know anything else about this? --Greg K Nicholson 20:42:06, 2005-08-31 (UTC)

[edit] Sale

Being a former resident of Sale I can confirm that housing areas range from mansions to council estates. Wealthy people do live there but for the most part it is an ordinary suburban area. (Pally01 09:59, 21 February 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Career

In the section where it discusses David Gray's career, the article credits "This Year's Love" and "Babylon" as his best known songs.

White Ladder; this was a critical and commercial success and included his best-known songs, "This Years Love" and "Babylon".

The author may want to retool this as U.S. audiences, while familiar with the popular "Babylon" would more easily recognize "Please Forgive Me" or "Sail Away" as opposed to "This Year's Love".

[edit] Biggest selling Album in Ireland

Thats true i ve seen it in many places including the q review of a new day at midnight Owwmykneecap 15:32, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Taper-friendly musicians

It says on the page for the category of 'Taper-friendly musicians' that their policy of being accepting towards fans who bootleg concerts must be clearly documented in the article, but I can't see where this is documented. Shouldn't either he be removed from this category or have his status as taper-friendly noted and cited? 81.107.212.148 14:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Album chronologies

I've added chronologies to the necessary articles. Haven't specified the correct genre (I know it's not pop), so feel free to select the one that suits best. - Dudesleeper 05:10, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
