STARS AND THEIR HiFi – STEVE DAVIS

There’s more to the six-time world snooker champion Steve Davis than meets the eye. He is something of an aficionado when it comes to left-field music. He’s not only a massive prog and electronic music fan, but he also records and performs as a member of The Utopia Strong.

In this interview by HiFi Pig’s Neil Mason, we chat with him about his musical history and his HiFi.
