This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. World exclusive glimpse at tracks from Davy Knowles' new album...and a few classics for the very special TEDxDouglas audience...

Born in the Isle of Man and now living in Chicago, Blues star Davy has established himself as one of the hottest tickets in the music industry. A proud Manxman, during 2014 he has served the Isle of Man as a cultural ambassador in support of Island of Culture, the biggest celebration of culture in the Island's history.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
