New Wave Outpost Forum

Hello All, sorry for the long absence! I would like to say thank you to all those who reached out to give their condolences and for the thoughtful messages left on this and other groups! One things for certain, Dave left us way too soon and will definitely be missed!

For those interested, as mentioned previously, Ed from Flashback Alternatives Radio is dedicating tomorrows show at 8pm to the memory of Dave! I’ve sent him quite a bit of Dave’s favourite tracks as well there will be selections and messages from friends and members of the station who knew Dave virtually for many years. Very kind of you Ed to this! Thank You!

This Sunday will be Dave’s Celebration Of Life ceremony and the family has asked me to speak about our friendship and share the music side of Dave which he was so passionate about but not many knew. I am truly honoured!

Lastly, I will continue to work on the final volumes of Digital 80s that Dave and I started and were going to share with you all by year end!

Thanks

Paul

Very saddened to read this news Paul. My deepest condolences to you and Dave's family and friends. It is always a sad day when someone so young passes at the hands of cancer. But it is especially sad when it happens to a kindred spirit of ours. Today in his honor I am listening to many of the wonderful tracks that you and Dave so unselfishly have made available to us. RIP Swerve and thank you.
