You’re often in our thoughts Ewen and your songs are always on my set list! Rest easy…
Graham & Lesley

Always loved and remembered for your amazing music and for the gentle man you were.

Pipe Dream still include your songs when we perform.  The one we played last week at Cramlington was The Lonliest is man.  Your songs tell so many stories and still delight so many folk. Always grateful for your help and support.

Well Ewen old friend, you are always there and the time is always right.
Tomorrow I set off to play some gigs and of course I will be taking you and your wonderful songs with me.
Sleep on old lad, you have earned your rest.
Mike

As real today my friend, miss you.
In my thoughts always.

All your pals think of you often and your songs are often given an airing at every chance… lots of love to all your lovely family❤️
Graham, Lesley & family

Happy birthday, your songs are my most played on Spotify:) I’ve also just started to the learn the guitar, in a few years I hope to play ‘ was it you’
My best wishes to your friends and family xx

Hey up old son. I have often said that you are never far from my thoughts and it is as true to day as it ever was. In fact I am rehearsing for my first ever one man show: Past Imperfect -- The Journey Between the Songs. I'll be chatting about my life on the road, singing some songs, mine and some by other writers, meeting you and hearing your wonderful songs for the first time all those years ago (1975) in Sherburn-in-Elmet, I'm including Was it You and The Power: that incredible 'video-like' lyric you gave me to write a tune for. That song has carried me many a mile and I hope a good few more. Sleep on mate, all of us who write here, carry our memories of you in our hearts for sure.

Happy Birthday Dad. Will raise a glass to you tonight Dad. Love you Sarah, Ellie, Mollie and Freddie xxxx

Happy birthday wishes to a wonderful person
Miss you and am hoping to bring your music alive in my audio book “One More Story”
Love Sue

Miss you Mister.
Sunflowers and a vanilla slice.
Love to Sarah, David and families.

It was in 2005 or so that Ewen joined Alan Taylor for a house concert in my living room Ewen did a few of his songs and Ala performed Rosenstein Remembers. It was a great evening.

Ewan, I will always remember those folk club nights in Goole. You inspired me to play and to write, although I've still not reached your level! Deep peace my friend. Dean

Missing you still - hope you are singing with the angels
Forever missed and never forgotten
Love Sue Chantelle and Scott

Dear Ewen your kindness towards us when we were starting out playing will remain with us always….. last night we sang Peach Orchard and Mr Anderson. On Sunday we sang New Bridge Street and Black and White. Our latest is The loneliest is man. 
We are looking forward to playing Cramlington Folk club soon and your songs will feature in our set. 
Love fromPeter, John and Pat. (Pipe Dream) x

A late one from me Ewen. Often in my thoughts and your wonderful music will never be forgotten.
Still loved and missed. x

A belated happy birthday to Ewen Carruthers. I heard someone sing 'Was It You' a few years and then found a Youtube clip of Ewen singing it at Morley Folk Club. I worked up my own take of it based on his DADGBD version, which I now perform solo and with the trio White Sail. I'm learning some more of Ewen's songs at the moment and look forward to doing them. Such a beautiful voice and guitar, and such wonderful songs. Thank you for the gifts, Ewen xx

Happy Birthday Ewen, we played Mr Anderson on your birthday at Croxdale Folk Club.  Our repertoire of your songs increases all the time….. the latest The Loneliest is man.  Thank you for another beautiful song from Pat, John and Peter (Pipe Dream) x

Happy Birthday old son,
There was no-one like you, nobody could get even close.
Sleep on...
Mike

Hi Ewen you will always be with us through those wonderful songs and the packed of fags
All at Cramlington Folk Club

Happy birthday, Ewen. I frequently listen to your music :) Blasting out ‘ Was it you ‘ earlier :)

Another year of birthday memories, cream cakes and happy times. Love to Sarah, David and families xxx

Happy heavenly birthday Dad x x x lots of love sarah, Ellie, mollie and Freddie x ❤️❤️❤️❤️

To my darling Ewen
Just thinking of you and your wonderful music. Heard a band here in the US which reminded me of you. When I hear you sing it is as if you are sitting here playing and singing to us all. We miss you so much and your music and lyrics are timeless.  All our love always - Sue & Family

I guess we all have things that we say a lot or questions we ask etc. One of mine is, have you heard any songs by Ewen Caruthers? After all these years, I still find myself asking the same question. Ewen, your songs were written with such simple and articulate beauty, they surprise me and inspire me always.
Mike

I never met you or heard you sing live but your music lives on. Last night the wonderful duo of Harbottle & Jonas opened their concert at St Edith Folk , Otford, Kent with ' Was it You ? ' using the arrangement by Mike Silver. Just wonderful.

Hey Ewen
Last night I was sitting in the living room of some dear friends, Les and Linda and the music was flowing.
I will miss you always mate.
Sleep on
Mike

Remembering a generous, talented man who encouraged us with our music. We still sing and learn more of your beautiful songs all the time. You we’re complimentary of our attempts.
Never forget you Ewen, all good wishes to your family. From Peter, Pat and John(Pipe Dream) xx

Memories of music and laughter never fade. The feelings of that sad day neither. Love and thoughts with you Sarah, David and your families xxx

We’re all thinking of you and your family on this day… you can rest easy Ewen, we will never forget you and your wonderful music!

Lesley & Graham

Happy Birthday Ewen from Peter, John and Pat (Pipedream).  We will

Thinking of you and I still listen + love your music. Neil x

You will always be with me pal. Since I recorded my own version of Was It You, at least four other artists have taken to playing the song and are currently exploring more of your outstanding contribution to music and songwriting. I can never thank you enough for how much you inspired me in the past and continue to do so to this day.

Happy birthday up there Dad.. can’t believe it’s 10 years.. hope you are watching over us all. X

All our thoughts are with you and your family…
Graham & Lesley

Time goes by but memories of happy days remain. Love to David, Sarah and families xx

The angels looked down from heaven one night.
They searched for miles afar,
And deep within the distance
They could see a shining star.

They knew that very instant
That the star was theirs to gain,
So they took you up to heaven,
Forever to remain.

Look down on us from heaven.
Keep us free from hurt and pain.
You'll always be within our hearts
Until we meet again.

Today I was sorting through some old cassette tapes, and I found Ewen's "Secret lives"; it brought back memories of folk clubs in Goole in the early nineties, where I met Ewen, and he inspired me to write some songs. I was never as good as him. Sad to hear he has now passed away. love & prayers.

We can’t believe it’s nine years since Ewen left us, but our thoughts are often with him and his wonderful songs are always on my itinerary.
Graham & Lesley

Always with me, always missed, never forgotten. xxx

We were at Cramlington Folk Club on Wednesday 2nd October, somewhere you played often. Your good friend Mike Silver was the guest. Mike spoke about you and the song you wrote together. The Power.
He sang it beautifully.
Remembering all the lovely songs you have written and really pleased we met you. Always grateful for the time you spent with us. Peter, John and Pat from Pipe Dream

When I get up there, I’m taking you to the pub and.. oh.. btw. It’s your round. Miss ya pal.
