When I was 16 my then boyfriend, who was a guitarist, lent me his Folk Blues and Beyond... I didn't actually see Davey live until he was booked at Ealing folk and blues club in the 90s. Very sorry to hear of his passing.

Just finished the last of three gigs with Paul Barrere and Fred Tackett of Little Feat at the Komedia in Brighton. Wonderful blokes and great time had by all. Saw them off to their 5 am flight. Got back to the hotel to the news of the death of Davey Graham. His album 'Folk Blues and beyond' is the reason I became a musician. I'm very sad to hear this news. Just raised a glass with the hotel porter who of course has no idea what I'm on about. R.I.P. Davey.

The old EP 34AD with Alexis Korner a treasured posession from the early days. And we all learned to play Anji. What can you say? A man who helped to name what we all do.

With the way D G abused his body with ALL sorts of substances , its remarkable that he has lasted this long ! A Sad day all the same , he was a RARE talent !

I am shocked. He didn't look that ill last year. Is the cause known? I was not personally much attracted by his playing (I admired it, but it did not much "speak to me"), but he was undoubtedly a huge influence and a guru to many.
