Hearing about Dave dieing was indeed a shock,even though I am having to cope,as indeed we all are, with far too much sad news over the last few years.
Dave Shannon first arrived on the London folk scene playing guitar duets with Sam Bracken .They had a varied rep. Dave would turn up at some of my gigs with Sam & play 12th Street Rag !
Then after the days with Fiona( Therapy) I knew him as a BBC Radio sound/eng./producer in Manchester.
He worked with John Leonard.
Dave Shannon very talented musician, great bloke.
So sad for his family.

So sad to hear - a grand man and a fine musician...

Many happy memories (from back in the day) of seeing Therapy in various folk clubs up and down the land..

Dave's guitar and metronome duet still brings a smile to my ears....

Hello friends.

It is with deep regret that I have to tell you that Dave Shannon passed away peacefully in the early hours of 28th February after a battle with cancer.
