Dave Paskett. Where is he now?

Dave used to play with the Pigsty Hill Light Orchestra and was also an entertaing solo performer in the 70s. He's probably best remembered for the song "I could not take my eyes off her".
He was a decent painter too, I saw an exhibition of his work at the Bristol Arts Centre.
Back then I was in Hamstrung Bones with Tim Nikolai and we did a number of gigs with him in the Bristol area, but lost touch when I believe he moved to Hong Kong.
Any sightings recently?
Tim and I would love to see him again.

I think he's back in the UK now. Apparently he did make some money from his paintings for a while. The guy who used to play in K Passa - Simon or Roger, I think - told me that he was a family friend - said that he had moved over to full time art. I know he was a good cartoonist. He was also the first one man band I ever saw - although there was more to him than just that, of course. We had him at our "Downs and Outs" folk club, near Reading, in the seventies. I recall him singing, "I Could Not Take My Eyes Off Her" and "Boghole Botticelli". He was very entertaining and a nice bloke.

Try PaskettArt@aol.com - I think you'll find he's alive and well in Oxford...
