BilboMusic

A key founder member of Bilbo Baggins, Dev is from Edinburgh and has one brother. A 'larger than life' personality who clearly loved what he was doing and always seemed to be enjoying himself. On stage Dev had a big presence and could be extremely entertaining. Off stage Dev had great charm and was very likeable. In the early days of the band Dev's mum helped them out by making tartan jackets out of blankets. Like most of the band he's a big football fan and supports the Edinburgh team Hibernian.

Dev had to make a very untimely departure from the band in August 1976 following a fall out between them during a trip to Gibraltar. This was no doubt a rash decision and later much regretted. It was a traumatic time for them all and the BB fans were very upset. However, Dev overcame this situation and used his many talents to go on to pursue a very successful career within the music industry.
