I was stationed briefly at RAF Box during my National Service with a lot of Welshmen. When you play this tribute you will know why I treasure the memory of one of them: a genius who died far too young. One winter evening Ryan Davies came into my room with an unusual request. He had a date with a girl in Bath but found himself short of a item of clean clothing. I still remember, 68 years later, that extraordinary face and that beautiful, musical, deep Welsh voice and hear him now asking, "You gotta vest?" Rev Mike Walling. Canterbury
Wales has never replaced him. And never will. The most naturally gifted entertainer/singer/comedian/actor and much more, ever to come out of Wales in the last century.
Great tribute to a truly unique talented entertainer. Never beaten or equalled. And he did it all in English and Cymraeg. Cofio clywed y newyddion, merch ysgol ond mae'f cof yn glir. Dwli mynd i'r Grand Abertawe am "Panto". Allai cofio un llinell o hwnna o hyd. Diolch byth a cof da. Does neb wedi dod yn agos i ti Ryan. A fi'n dweud hwnna yn edrych ar y 'Steddfod. Cysga'n dawel Ryan. "And don't call Will on your Father."

A tragic loss. A brilliant entertainer. Ryan was first class. We miss him still.

Thank you. What a lovely tribute. Ryan’s performances have stayed in our memories. What a talent, what a loss.
Taken way too early, what a talent. xx
Ryan at the rank was recorded by my uncle who just passed. RIP Ryan and Mike

I had no idea he was only 40 that's so young for the amount he had done
Only discovered his marvellous talent a few days ago. What a tragic loss to us all.
One of the few true all rounders. Ryan was a genius
