Music night in honour of Dave Ward
A night of music was held at the Gospel Garden in Umina on Thursday, February 14, in honour of the late Dave Ward.
The Gospel Garden was packed with fans, friends, family and Dave's musical mates for the Love is in the Air event.
Performances were heard from Rick Taylor, John Marks, Jesse O'Neil Hutchins, Geoff Cartright (Swanee), Dale Hutchin, Colene Crawford, Peter Healy and the Hurricanes, and Dave Ward's old band Big Things On Toast.
Dave was a well-known saxophone player and a resident busker at an Ettalong cafe.
"Dave was an exceptional talent and very loved," said Gospel Garden representative Ms Gina Booth.
"He was also known for his humble character and ability to inspire young people to play music.
"He is sorely missed by friends, fans and family.
"In his honour, a music program for teens, especially youth at risk will be founded at the Gospel Garden."
