Davie Stewart
About the artist
Davie Stewart (born in Aberdeenshire in 1901; died 1972) was a Scottish travelling singer and accordion player. He spent a large part of his life 'on the road' living on his music and his wits, turning his hand to a number of trades one of which was 'clock mending'. (Realising that a lot of stopped clocks were simply too dirty to work he dropped them in boiling water!) Discovered around 1953 by folklorist Hamish Henderson during fieldwork in Aberdeen
