Rob Davis rises from The Mud

The classic journey from a local mates group to pop stardom and beyond

Rob, the most flamboyant man in 70s rock music, wonderful, those days of mud were fantastic, thankyou Rob

I was into heavy music but had a soft spot for mud, they were good fun and didn't take themselves too seriously

[nicholasmole-mdjw]

Wishing you all the best, they were great times 👍

Hey Rob, fantastic recordings that will live forever. Dynamite, Cat, Rocket and the mighty 'Tiger' are some of the most perfect pop, ever laid down in a studio. Strange how when I'm on the sauce, that Mud always end up on youtube full blast. The perfect accompaniment to a case of 'Neck Oil'! Thanks for the riffs and the joy you've all bought to peoples lives. It really is rather special.

Mud were great fun ; they always manage to cheer me up even today when I check out their TOTPs performances . In fact my 2 1/2 years old niece loves 'Tiger Feet' and dances along to it with plenty of smiles and laughs in abundance !

What a fantastic guitarist, songwriter and person Rob is. Mud were my favourite band as a kid.

[Elvisdukebox]

Met the guys in Folkestone at the Leas Cliff Hall back in the 70's, all very nice, a great time in pop history. Thanks for the music.

Was listening to Rob on Forth Valley radio last night great listen

[lindamcarthur]

Mud was an awesome friendly group. Didn't know of them till a couple of years ago as they weren't popular here. A shame. Rob is a fantastic guitarist.

In their first song writing session together, Rob Davis and Cathy Dennis wrote "Can't Get You Out of My Head" for Kylie Minogue. Released in 2001, it was the first song to have 3, 000 radio plays in a single week in the UK, reached #1 in all but one European country and sold over four million copies. Davis and Dennis received an Ivor Novello Award for composing the most performed song of the year.The song was originally intended for Sophie Ellis-Bextor, but she turned it down.
