From Burnley Folk Club:

Dave died of cancer yesterday evening after a great deal of pain and suffering. Our thoughts and prayers are for his family.

He was a fine musician and a great friend to many people.
I shall remember him as he would wish - playing away on his trusty Martin with his beloved son Steve playing alongside him.

We'll miss you, bonny lad. Rest in peace.

A sad loss. I first met Dave when I moved from Manchester to Burnley in 1980 - he was one of the residents at the first folk club I went to there, at Keighley Green Social Club.

Dave's funeral today was very well attended and was a very moving and dignified service.
A large number of local musicians paid their respects to a lovely feller.
RIP
