Davie Colquhoun

A talented musician who emigrated from Paisley to Hong Kong to pursue his career died suddenly on New Year’s Day 2021 Davie Colquhoun had planned to return home to the town for good later this year. Tributes have flooded in from both the former colony and back home from his Paisley pals. The guitarist and singer - who died aged 72 of a suspected asthma attack - had become something of a celebrity of the Far East. He’d been out there for 35 years and fondly become known as the Hong Kong Clapton. Dad-of-two Davie quit Paisley in the mid-eighties after years of gigging around town, his group Findo Gask nearly hitting the big time.
