Davie Stewart

Davie Stewart

Davie Stewart has been played on NTS in shows including Death Is Not The End, featured first on 22 September 2018. Songs played include I'm Often Drunk And I'm Seldom Sober.

Davie Stewart was born in N.E.Scotland around the start of the 20th century. He spent a large part of his life 'on the road' living on his music and his wits, turning his hand to a number of trades one of which was 'clock mending'. (Realising that a lot of stopped clocks were simply too dirty to work he dropped them in boiling water!) One of the small number of traditional singers who accompanied themselves on a musical instrument, his forthright style and occasionally unusual chords are instantly recognisable. He was a big influence on singer Bob Davenport whose direct singing is equally uncompromising.
