Thanks Bill. I know he's living in Foster City with his bride... but I never hear of him appearing anywhere or writing anything of late.. A very talented man... Was just wondering what he was up to these days.

Is he the one who wrote 'Rubenstein Remembers'? One of the most touching songs I know and the only English-language one I can think of about the holocaust.

Thanks for the link. Here's the information:

  • 68 years old
  • Date of birth: Aug 24, 1942
  • Place of birth:
    Corbridge, Northumberland, United Kingdom
  • Date of passing: Oct 4, 2010

 Thank you all for visiting this tribute to Ewen.

Sadly , Ewen passed away suddenly on Monday 4th October. 

Ewen was a quiet, gentle man but when he took the stage and through his music he was able to express himself so very much and take you  to places you just dream about. 

Music was his dear love and his love of the English language  allowed him to be a prolific song-writer.

We are all so fortunate to have known him in our lives. Ewen’s memory will live on in his songs and what a beautiful legacy to leave us all.

Rest in sweet peace Ewen – you will be missed most dearly by us all.

The Memorial service was held at St Cuthberts church on Friday, and Ewen's ashes were scattered gracefully on the hills of Rothbury today. We will always come to this special place to think of Ewen.

So many emotions were flowing throughout day for so many dear friends and family.

The family would like to thank everyone on the day and also like to give special thanks to those that contributed musically to the wake, to make it even more special for Ewen, his family and friends, including Graham Hodge, Billy Bills, Pete Dodds, Pat, John and Peter of Pipe Dreams, Steven and Michael Marchant of Freeway, and Terry. I hope I haven't missed anyone. You ALL made it so special and memorable.

Thankyou from our hearts.

We would also like to deliver a special thanks to our dear friend and Ewen's dear friend Mike Silver, who gave such a heartfelt and powering performance of 'The Power' a song co-written with Ewen, at the church service. There aren't words invented to describe just how special that was.

 

We heard of a couple of events relating to Ewen's music and we will keep this site open to update you,  as we get more information over the coming days and weeks...

 

'Though old friends have all gone, I still hear their laughter.....'

Such a shock, saw Ewan Ewen many times and loved his gentle songs and songwriting. HE WAS regular at the Grove in Leeds, sometimes with Mike Silver, I'll miss him.

I only heard the dreadful news last saturday. Shocked and stunned.
Ewen was a true poet and painter of magical pictures through his songs which conjured up such wonderful images.
I was privileged to chat with him at his gig in Cramlington last July and that memory with so many others will stay with me forever.
He was a friend and is sorely missed.
