Dave Owen - Funeral Details


Recommended Posts

Dave was a proper northern soul man. He was there when virtually all of us first started and never wavered. He had a real love for the music and dug deep. He helped me out of a pile of shit at Sale Mecca 1974 and I am just so sorry that I never made it over to see him like I promised him I would in his last few months.           R.I.P Dave.

Such sad news, Dave will be much missed.  He was always fantastic company, was blessed with a lovely dry sense of humour, had a deep knowledge of and passion for the music and was just an absolute legend.  Rest In Peace my friend.

Just shows how you can lose touch with people. Just seen this about Dave.

As per Chris above, they were good nights at Daves back in 73. Chris, Shaun and myself and sometimes Gus. Remember many a time seeing him up a cradle, window cleaning on Redgates building on  Monday morning after all nighters, shouting down asking if i'd got any gear?. I remember once him telling us he had some grass to sell and it was good stuff. Well! It certainly was grass, council had just cut that big hill behind Midland station :) , spent time at his flat opposite barracks as well when he was with Karen, think just about everyone who was anybody on  the scene went to that flat Russell Davy, Pete Tildsley, Maria, Andy Wilson also Dodger and his girlfriend lived in flat above him for a while, just to name a few. Counted Dave and Wendy as mates, proper all nighter people.

R.I.P Dave
