David Flockhart
(1938 - 2008)
David was born in Edinburgh and attended Leith Academy, being accepted there on a scholarship. He was taught classical piano, being allowed out with his friends only after half an hour’s practice every evening. The first band he played with regularly was Peter Innes, and he went on to play with many bands through the course of his life, including Bobby Crowe, Andrew Rankine, Ron Gonella, Allan McIntosh, Bobby Moore, Fergie MacDonald, Robert Macleod, Simon Howie, Calum MacLean, Anda Campbell, Hector McFadyen, John MacGregor and Andrew Stoddart & The Glenesk. The first broadcasting band he played with was Jim Johnstone and he later had a long association with The Iain MacPhail Band, playing at Edinburgh’s King James Hotel for two decades. From 1982 he spent most of his time on Mull, where he farmed oysters, and maintained the physical fitness he had developed as young man in the wrestling ring, as an excellent swimmer and sub aqua diver
