How have a missed the music of this man ?
Only recently discovered him, and I'm blown away by his playing.
Not that sold on his voice, but his instrumentals are incredible.

Dave was a great player and writer. I have all his albums on vinyl. Sad Pig Dance is the best and all instrumental.

I actually have the vinyl Sad Pig Dance out and leaning against my guitar amp right now :-) A super album.

He also built his own guitars, and later moved to Belgium where he worked making and repairing guitars and harp guitars. His own guitars that he used on stage had coloured tops each in a different colour to show the tuning. A great player and builder.

I have some Dave Evans tracks on a compilation called Irish Reels, Jigs, Airs and Hornpipes. I think it was El McMeen that recommended him to me, being a fellow CGDGAD player.
