Edinburgh based singer songwriter David Heavenor has been called the mystery man of Scottish music by Davie Scott, Radio presenter and musician in Scottish Band The Pearlfishers. Journalist and broadcaster Tom Morton writing in The Scotsman called his song Linger and Go ‘a masterpiece of songwriting.’ Other plaudits for songs also appearing on his first album Private (The Night Visitors 1993) come from Ricky Ross who called Jenny and the Cold Caller ‘One of the best songs ever written’. He subsequently featured it as one of his Tracks of My Years on The Ken Bruce Show on BBC Radio 2. David’s only other album Winter’s Children appeared in August 2001 on the Glasgow based Sticky Music label.
In his Scotsman review Tom Morton described it: ‘ Songs made to last. Delicate and full of diffident power. The cool delivery remains somewhere between Al Stewart and Nick Drake, the unexpected guitar runs, the lyrics you can’t quite pin down, but which echo round you brain, shifting meaning, ornate yet direct, complex and with an overwhelming sense of Edinburgh in winter.’
Future plans include another album to be recorded in Spring 2003 followed by a Scottish tour and appearances at the 2003 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
