Ah my man! The years roll by so quickly. However, it isn't about me remembering you mate. Because of your lovely songs and how inspired I am by them, you are simply with me most of the time; when I am at home with Julie, in the car on the way to a gig, thinking about what I'm gonna play and then on stage when I talk about you and how we got to know each other all those years ago.

Forever in my heart xx
Much love to David, Sarah and families

Often in my thoughts Ewen. x

Another year passes and you are still in our hearts and thoughts. You are dearly missed - all our love Sue, Chantelle and Scott

Still think of you. So many memories of our times together. Your music and storytelling will live forever.

Hey Dad. Took Natalie to Rothbury last week, and we both felt like you were there with us on top of that hill. Never forgotten X. David & Natalie

well i wish we could talk about our kids miss you missyou love judy

Miss you and your magic mister, seems like yesterday when the news came through. Think of you always. Remembering David, Sarah and families as another year goes by. With love, Janet xx

It may sound silly but it feels as if you are still here. I have just re-read a letter from David which he sent after he received Silver Collection which features a number of your works. Then I fired up the Mac and there was your tribute reminder. You will always be with me my friend.

We were playing Sedgefield Folk Festival and sang some of your songs. For some people it was the first time they had heard Peach Orchard. More fans for your music. We are glad we met you Ewen, that you inspired us with your music and advice. Forever grateful. Pat, John and Peter. From Pipe Dream .

Well old friend you are sadly missed by all at Cramlington
Your music lives on and will do so for as long performers keep your songs alive which will be forever
No one comes along now having just popped out fora packet of fags!!

Still in our thoughts...
Graham & Lesley

Your songs are played often at Cramlington and every time fond memories come flooding back there are so many of the good time spent in your company

Missing you as always mister, hurts as much now as then, but your voice and memories stay forever x Love to David Sarah and families you're often in my thoughts x

Just back from visiting the Somme and your song In the Course of Business came to mind when visiting the Battlefields and Cemetries.  We continue to sing your songs everywhere we go and are pleased that many more folk are enjoying your beautiful music.  We have recorded a cd A Little Bit of Ewen with 10 of your songs on.  Think you would approve? Remembered always by Pipe Dream.X

Ewen, you are always in our thoughts.  Yesterday we had our first radio show in California for a Functional Health Forum and used the first minutes of your son "Dirty Water" for the intro/outro etc. It will be featured each Saturday for the next 13 weeks. Rick introduced the show sharing information to our listeners regarding you and your music.
Dearest Ewen you line on in the songs you wrote that people still enjoy listening to; they are timeless - what a wonderful legacy. I cannot wait to hear the new album "A Little Bit of Ewen"  Love always Sue and your family in the USA.

Each time I perform one of your songs it's a nod in your direction old friend…!

Great memories of the short time we made music together a wonderful experience in company of a gentleman and a true professional. Your music will live forever nights at Cramlington Folk Club will never be forgotten. Robert & Judith

Hey Dad.....Been thinking of you lots recently. So many great musicians play your songs and I know that is what you loved, people enjoying your music and I'm sure you would be stoked at the love felt through this site. If I'm ever sad I'll put a song or two on and listen to my old man's voice. Thanks for leaving a little of bit of you for us to enjoy forever. Miss you loads X

Rubenstein Remembers - and so do I

I'm looking out over the Camelford Valley in Cornwall where I live Ewen. I still carry your music with me wherever I go and I'm near to finishing a new recording which features four of your wonderful songs. I wish with all my heart that I could know for sure whether or not you are able to hear them. What I can tell you is that I have done the best job I could, always thinking of you as I worked. They don't come any better than you mate.

Thank you Ewen for your beautiful music. We have just completed an album with some of your songs.  We always include some of your songs in our sets when we play.    Lots of new followers to your wonderful stories.

Warm thoughts of you. Peter, John and Pat (Pipe Dream)

Another cream bun to myself mister! Planted a lovely honeysuckle and some sunflowers where we used to sit! Miss you and always will do, for the times we had and the times that never were to be. Think often of David and Sarah, love to you all xxx

Always in our thoughts your music will be with us forever
From all at Cramlington

I have been thinking of you. This August is the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and I think of the wonderful song you wrote and wish the rest of the country could hear your meaningful lyrics.

Still your light shines on. Always remembered with great affection dear friend.

I just can't believe it's 4 years and a day since my buddy Billy rang to tell me the sad news of your passing… I'm going to sing Rubenstein Remembers tonight… my greatest respect to a great musician and friend… rest easy… Graham & Lesley Hodge

Like so many of those that leave tributes here Ewen, you are seldom far from my thoughts. On Monday next I will be saying goodbye to another good friend, Peewee Hunt from Trowbridge. He specifically asked for me to sing Sailors All. Your songs carry so much warmth and heart and remain an inspiration and tremendous comfort to us all. You wrote in a way that drew us all in. Lyrical and musical portraits of extraordinary clarity that still leave me breathless. Sleep on mate.

Your memory lives on through your wonderful music you are always remembered with much fondness by all at Cramlington
Audrey and I never forget the great times spent in your company always a true friend

Ewen,
Doe plays your music nightly and your music & beautiful voice drifts through the house. You live on in our hearts.

Nancy Smith & DoeDoe (Vacaville, California)

Dear Ewen.
We always include your songs in every set we do. Your beautiful lyrics and music live on in the memories of people who knew you well, but also new followers of your inspirational poetry.  We were blessed to have met you and grateful for all the friends you have givenus through singing your songs. Thank you. Pat, John and Peter. (Pipe Dream)

Where does the time go.......

Listening to Remember Me, remembering you, your smile and all our good times.

Finding it hard to sleep friend, miss you now and everyday that's been and gone.

Going to see Mike play in York as a celebration of happy days past.

Much love as always to David, Sarah and their families x

Ewen, your songs always told a story. To listen to one of your songs is to imagine, as I do, the film going through my mind. Brilliant songwriter!
