Thread Name: R.I.P Dave Hickey (McGinty band Nova Scotia)2010
Subject: R.I.P Dave Hickey McGinty
Hallo all , I just got an e-mail saying Dave Hickey one of the member of the McGinty from Novia Scotia died .
Hello Everyone, Dave Hickey passed away yesterday evening December 25, 2010 after a very brief and courageous battle with cancer. David liked the music loud, his rum dark, his water salty and hockey in Maple Leaf blue. Christmas was one of his favourite times of the year, so it is perhaps appropriate that he should leave us on this day.
I got to know Dave here in Reykjavík many years ago along with Don , John and Bob, at the Dubliner pub , over the years I med up with them nearly every time they came here. McGinty came here to Iceland over a year ago and I coult not go and listen to them ...I wish I had ..but he will be in my memory as many others ... May god be with all his family and friends .
