13 Oct 09 - 10:15 AM (#2744929) Subject: dave gray From: wealdroad In the late 1960s and early 1970s Dave used to sing and write some terrific little songs, in the folk clubs around Upminster and Brentwood, Essex. A drole, slightly gloomy young guy with fizzy hair and a 12 string guitar. Does anyone know if he's still knocking around or playing at all? |

I still play music (now, trad Irish) but have never heard from or about Dave since the 1970s, when we were doing gigs together. I still dream about some of his songs. I did email lanfranc but no reply. Ta, Greg, for the Lancaster link. I might try something through there. Do ask around, if you can! Ta so much. Paul |

If it is the Lancaster University Dave Grant you are talking about, I know where his daughter is. Get in touch via PM or whatever if you want to chase this up, I won't put any contacts on an open forum |

22 Aug 10 - 06:51 AM (#2970384) Subject: RE: dave gray - whatever happened to him? From: GUEST Another thought: I wonder if Dominic (see above) has any news of Dave. ? Or maybe if anyone knows how I might contact Dave Royle, to ask him about Dave Gray...? I've asked Helen Watson (the wonderful blues etc singer), who used to do gigs at the Castle in Brentwood, and around the Hornchurch area too, but she couldn't help, alas. Paul |

23 Aug 10 - 05:08 AM (#2970943) Subject: RE: dave gray - whatever happened to him? From: howbe on Hi Guest Paul Although I remember Dave Gray I'm afraid I have no idea what happened to him after the early 1970's. Regarding Dave Royle I havent had any contact with him since the late 70's. but when I was in Chelmsford early last year for the funeral of Trevor Moore ( The Riggers and Truss+Bucket Band )I heard that Dave R was living " somewhere in Suffolk " but I have no contact details. Sorry I cant be of more help. Dominic |

23 Aug 10 - 06:55 AM (#2970983) Subject: RE: dave gray - whatever happened to him? From: GUEST Dominic, Thanks so much for this. I've a contact in Suffolk I can try, to find Dave Royle's email address maybe. Cheers, Paul |

From: GUEST,Mac McLeod Hi , There was a soldier ,Dave Gray or Grey can't remember which spelling Royal Signals in Germany he was a folk club organiser and singer. Did a charity concert with Harvey Andrews during the 70s. He was a Staff Sergeant AKA The Squire. He did indeed tragically die aged 33 whilst in Germany. The above songs are the sort of subjects he sang about and they did make an LP, that could be him. Mac |
