"There are certain people who have inspired and influenced me as an artist and Jimmy Davis (T8PES) is one of them. A great songwriter, lyricist and performer who writes deeply personal songs and confronts important issues through his music" - Ed Sheeran The driving force behind T8PES is Birmingham native Jimmy Davis. Regularly referred to as a local legend by the city’s music community, Jimmy has a rich musical CV that includes being a 3 time performer at Glastonbury Festival, live sets at Secret Garden Party, Barn on the Farm, Shambala and iTunes festivals, as well as extensive tours across the UK, Ireland and Europe. T8PES (pronounced TAPES) is that 90's cassette of a legendary rave that hardly left the tape deck and got more rewinds than a D Double E set at Boiler Room. T8PES is the raver who let you sniff his poppers, the teenager who pushed a flyer in your hand, the football fan who would have fought you years before but hugged you on the dancefloor instead. T8PES is that clubber who turned the taps on in the toilets after the club owner turned them off. T8PES is the pill romance that wrecked the relationship you were in. T8PES is you, T8PES is me, T8PES was there when you didn't even realise you were. "T8PES ... who as you can hear is very, VERY good" (Tom Robinson - 6 Music)
