Ewen, we remember you at the Candlelite and at Sedgefield, and even more so now that Pat, Peter and John have brought your songs back to us. Including some from recent years that we'd never heard live. Wonderful songs that will live on.. and on. God bless.

I saw Ewen twice,both times at Porkies Folk Club in Poynton, He gave us two great nights and I will for ever treasure the demo CD he gave me at the end of the second night. I was staggered when I heard he had passed away. I would love to have see him again. I found Secret Lives on this web site and bought it. What a fantastic CD; I just have to learn The Loneliest is man. He will be missed

My Dearest Ewen:
You are truly missed; your music is timeless and gives me great comfort. There are so many instances that arise and I think "Ewen" wrote a wonderful song about that!!! All my love Sue

Today marks the passing of another year without being able to talk to you pal. I still talk about you and sing your songs and tell people what a great writer you are. You'll always be that which is why I talk I the present tense. Even though you're away from us you are still somehow with us here through your amazing songs. Thanks to you, always.

hey Ewen, you were with us all this Tuesday evening at Cramlington Folk Club. David came up to be there too. It was an evening with everyone singing your songs. A trio called Pipe Dream (big fans of you and your songs) and me were lucky enough to be headlining and I got everyone to come and sing the refrain of When Time Turns Around at the end of the night. Miss you mate, always will. Mike

Today I will be remembering all those special times with my special friend sitting out on a sunny day like today eating french bread and pate and fighting over the last bit of cheesecake! I always won! Thinking today of David and Sarah and families and thanking them for having made this site for us to share our memories. A good friend missed so much but made easier for his legacy of songs.

was playing some of Ewens songs on my iPad yesterday. I had the privilege of working with Ewen for a short while back in the mid 60's. we playe a few gigs , made a demo record at Mortons Studio (now lost). Didnt get anywhere with the music sadly. he sang one of his early compositions (have you heard the good news). Ewen was a real nice guy, and a good songwriter.

I was honored to be the one you chose to share your life with. Love always until we meet again....Sue

Well old friend, thinking of you today but in fact not many days pass without that happening. Special, is not an adequate way to talk about you and your music but one thing is clear. I have never known anyone quite like you. Your talent to generate beautiful lyrics with simple but glorious melodies to carry them such a rare gift. My thanks to you for allowing me to share just a little writing with you.
