leschirons Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Another one gone from my youth. Dozy (Trevor Ward Davies) RIP. Edited January 14, 2015 by leschirons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Aw, shame. I saw them in the 80's when they were doing the cabaret circuit. Smashing band. Legend of Xanado is still one of my fave songs. Great to sing along to in the car. When I first saw them do it on TOTP I was totally thrilled. It seemed so dramatic! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I had the pleasure of spending some time chatting to Dozy at a gig around 5 years ago. Really nice guy who was happy to chat fondly about the glory days. Top bloke.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I remember them, always being played on radio 1 , from 5-7 years old . Used to get me wondering if any of the band members were omitted when introduced Shame rip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Weird rock n roll fact - Dave Dee was a copper before he was full time in music and attended the scene of the accident when Eddie Cochran died.

The Saint Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 [quote name='KevB' timestamp='1421334894' post='2660038'] Weird rock n roll fact - Dave Dee was a copper before he was full time in music and attended the scene of the accident when Eddie Cochran died. [/quote] According to folklore, Eddie's guitar was recovered from the scene by Dave Dee and stored at the police station until collected by family reps. As a budding musician, you can picture Dave taking the opportunity to take a good look at it, maybe even playing a few riffs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
