David Francey was born in 1954 in Ayrshire, Scotland, where as a paper
boy he got his first taste of the working life. He learned to read at an
early age, and by age eight was devouring the newspapers he delivered.
This helped establish his interest in politics and world events while
developing the social conscience that forms the backdrop of his songs.
"I push a shovel a building site, and I'm already working when it breaks
daylight, if I don't keep moving, man, I'll freeze for sure, I'm just a
common example of the working poor." His family moved to Toronto when he
was 12 and touring Ontario developed his love for this country. He now
lives in Ayer's Cliff, PQ. David has made a massive impact on the
festival circuit in the last couple of years as the following
testimonial will attest: "an absolutely stunning performance at this
year's Blue Skies Music Festival. He is a brilliant writer and a
passionate singer who completely captivated all who heard him. His songs
are beautifully crafted, highly original and superbly played. I have no
doubt David will be an important voice in Canadian music in a very short
time." - {Al Rankin, Artistic Director Blue Skies Music Festival}. After
his guest appearance at CloudFest 2000 this April, we can only agree!
As usual the concerts will be held in the intimate atmosphere of the
Main Hall at the TRANZAC, which will be non-smoking. Smokers are
welcome to use the Southern Cross Lounge. For more information check
