I first heard Davy Steele on the radio many years ago singing Of a' the Airts the Wind can Blaw.I taped it to to play to my brother of the same name. I was very impressed with his rendition of that Burns song. I rediscovered Davy Steele through a site that was honouring Johnny Cunningham. Sadly they are both gone.This song is a great tribute to a great man and a whole generation of miners. It’s surely straight from the heart and it’s who and what we are as the offspring of coal Miners.
i remember davy singing this on a saturday night in the white hart inn in the grassmarket edinburgh you could have heard a pin drop, he could hold a crowd heavens a better place with davy steele in charge of the music gone but not forgotten
@sinister066 As you might have noticed Davy Steele was a singer / songwtiter sadly davy passed away on 11th.April 2001 . Lord David Steele retierd from politics in 2003 and now sits in the House of Lords
Davy Steele worked as a Care Worker at Midfield in Lasswade while I was a social worker in Midlothian. I am now 'in exile' in Austria, so I not only appreciate Davy's fantastic and very moving song but also the lovely Pentland Hills photos.

One of the finest singers borne of Scotland - his passing was a great loss to us all.
