Talk:Devvo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Instead of deleting, how about merging it with the David Firth article?

Devvo rules he should have his own page on here :) it would be confusing if it was on the Firth page....

[edit] is devvo real?

Well?

No, it's a made up character. I used to know the person who plays him, and he's not a 'chav'. doktorrob™ 18:54, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes - I was on a bus in Doncaster 6 months ago and he was thrown off for not having a ticket

YES! According to Dave Firth, Devvo is Darren Devonshire, a chav in the Hull area. Crust and Devvo are two different people! The video of Crust as "Devvo" is no more than a parody or imitation of Devvo.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Whats his real name then?? No one on here seems to know

I contest this is he fictional Is Pete Doherty fictional - no he is a self created characture of himself (and a twat!!) but he isnt fictional cos I have seen him Same with Elton John, Gary Glitter, Ziggy Stardust / David Bowie, Ozzy Osbourne and all the greats Devo was on stage at beached - that makes him real

Oh and do you think Creshden Crayfield is real?

That's not his real name. doktorrob™ 19:09, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

You lot shoud get real

DEVVO IS REAL!!

Do you really believe "Creshdon Crayfield", "Crust" and "Christian Pickup" are actually real people? These names are obviously made up so I've removed the references to them. Also a great many people are debating how "real" this character is, if he's putting it on completely or just a bit. As no one is quite sure, there should be no statement on the page about whether he is a "real" person or not.

• Why is there even debate as to whether he is real? There is only 'much debate' on the subject if you have never watched David Firths work. His friend Christian, known as Crust in some credits and also 'Chreshdon Crayfield' is who plays him. You can see him in lots of videos, and most recently the video for the song by the Grap Digging Sharon Fruits (their band) called 'Traveling Mind', a still from which is currently on fat-pie.com and clearly shows Crust, out of character as Devvo.

[edit] whatever on channel 4

has anyone seen the advert for whatever on channel 4(british tv)

Sorry about before, I thought you meant Funny Cuts, but according to an update on FatPie it seems you're right. Ill have to watch Channel 4 to see it for myself. So YES devvo WILL be on 'Whatever'. Check fatPie or Mcdevvos Myspace.

my site contains all the tv appearances that devvo has made, Devvo Videos

[edit] Censorship! What Really Happened At Beached

Due to standing up to the Motor guy who seems hell bent on deleting anything he doesn't understand my card is marked and anything I edit is automatically considered vandalism - that seems rather 1984 - we are all equal but some are more equal than others attitude - or maybe its along the lines of George Bush who stands up for Democracy so long as it agrees with him!

Anyway for anyone who is interested in what really happened at Devvos first stage performance at Beached Festival - here is my eye witness account:

On 19th Aug MC Devvo Performed Live on stage for the first time at Beached festival in Scarbouough (Dj Shady Piez was absent apparently with Bird Flu according to Devvo). Devvo performed with a large posse he rambled in typical Devvo style and sung Crystal Meffin', but couldn't remember the words. There were many people in the audience not impressed with Devvo and they started to hurl missiles, however several of these missiles fell short and hit some of the many Devvo lovers at the front of the crowd who then turned around and started to hurl them back. The organisers pulled the plug before it kicked off. However the next band (The Enemy) came out and were universally booed by the Devvo fans who were disgruntled at the proceedings. It started to get very ugly until Enemy lead singer pulled Devvo back on stage where he danced like a loon throughout their set.

When Devvo finally came off stage he was mobbed for autographs etc by other bands, organisers and general scallies who had got back stage - but the security decided to frog march him out the back and chuck him out...

(And yes I know this is more info than needed on Wikipedia!)

Sounds like fun, I wish I was there :) Devvo nearly caused a riot lol

Isn't the 'unnamed southerner' in the E4 episode Flingaz? - YES! it is. According to their Myspace photos. So yeh, I suppose someone should change it. But in a way he is 'Unnamed' cos in devvo in the studio devvo refers to him as 'this southerner'
