Davy Steele

Two songs from Davy when he was with Drinkers Drouth. Tributes from around the world have been posted in memory of internationally celebrated folk musician Davy Steele, who died of a brain tumour.
Davy 52, who was lead singer and songwriter with the Scottish folk groups the Battlefield Band, & Drinkers Drouth, died Tuesday, 17 April, 2001 in an Edinburgh hospice after a fight against an inoperable cancer.
Davy & I share the same birthplace
LASSWADE
His great passion was music. He was a full-on personality and the life and soul of the party - a big party animal.

Terrific... I think met Davy many years ago when i used to go to a session in the Eagle Folk Club in Lauder.. He sang a terrific version of Green Grow the Rashes that night amongst others..

Sad that he is no longer with us...

I served with Davy in the Army and we met up again when he and Sally came over to Germany where I had settled after leaving the colours. My employer was the sponsor of the Scottish Folk Festival, what a coincidence. 10 years after Davy's untimely passing his music lives on and the man is a legend within the ranks who had the priviledge of serving alongside him. Thanks for the memories Davy, we'll all meet again one day on the Tank Park in the sky.

steely 70 Just to say I really enjoyed your father's music. It moved me a lot - especially the Ceolbeg albums,and especially of these seeds to the wind which I still play many year later. Didn't know he came from the pans - for some reason thought he was Dundee
