Ha this pretty much confirms he's a top geezer. My friend Jon told me he regularly bumps into him at gigs in London, and not established dinosaur rock bands like you'd expect, we're talking obscure local psych and noise band affairs. I was as shocked as you are, I had to ask if we were talking about the same Steve Davis. Apparently Jon asked him if he was there for the beer or the music, he replied: "Both, but mainly the music!". Great to see he is also into Boards (and Oneohtrix and Ian William Craig!), obviously there's more to his on-screen persona. Also Snooker is bloody great drillkicker, an acquired taste but if you like tactical skill-based sports, look no further. Saying that, it's also really, really good to snooze to. Nothing more relaxing.

I remember I was frequently watching him on Eurosport somewhere around '92 or something along with Stephen Hendry. He was also into Frank Zappa. Cool!

Steve Davis once lost a packet bringing a band that he enjoyed over to the UK to play some gigs. This doesn't surprise me at all.
