David Westlake is a British singer/songwriter. What few people who know and love Westlake and his tiny catologue of terrific tunes usually come from one of three associations. Firstly, Westlake formed indie band the Servants in 1985 in Hayes, Middlesex, England; the Servants were among the very best things on 1986’s NME-associated C86 compilation, and the greatly expanded 48-song reissue version in 2006. Secondly, the Servants was the original home of Luke Haines (leader of The Auteurs and Black Box Recorder). And thirdly, as chronicled in an interview in US music magazine The Big Takeover (issue 53, 2004), Belle & Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch was a huge Westlake fan and was trying to locate him during the years that the older singer was dormant in the hopes of forming a band with him, before launching Belle in his school class instead.[1]
