Our Stateside Ambassador returns to his homeland for a full family visit and one very special evening at the Centenary on 21 November 2025. Davy has had perhaps his busiest year to date, culminating in laying down permanent roots with a new house in Chicago’s suburbia.
You will recall Davy being my choice of Swansong/Last Dance when it looked like Triskel were hanging up their mic leads for the last time. Well the very same fellow is directly responsible for my being drawn out of self-imposed exile! So here we are, with no fewer than 6 shows since then.
The new November date will be very special and we are particularly blessed that DK has taken time out from the family visit, to squeeze in a show. I hope the whole family will be able to attend and see the respect and adulation in which he is held.

Late last year saw the release of his latest solo album The Invisible Man.
The Invisible Man’ confirms Davy Knowles’ talents as he plugs back in and delivers diverse, expertly crafted originals, displaying his singing, songwriting and especially guitar slinging capabilities.
Back to his blues roots, the album offers a vast array of style and composition. It continues to get heavy online play on the streaming formats, attesting to his popularity.
Following on from this release, and forged from the trio powerhouse that is Band of Friends, Davy was able to bring together the stalwarts of Rory Gallagher’s band, Gerry McAvoy and Brendan O’ Neill, to lay down tracks he has written with Rory foremost in his mind and songwriting. The culmination of which becomes MKO, their initials obviously.
Stylised to sit comfortably with any Band of Friends release and quite easily as an updated Gallagher-infused offering. The proof is in the pudding. This finally gets its official release this 17th October. The scheduled Band of Friends shows in January will feature a good scutch of this album, alongside other BOF offerings and the usual Rory heavy setlist. Tickets for this residency are available here
