Description:
Roy Davies was by all accounts a lovely man and a brilliant fundraiser. He lived in a couple of cottages in Kemptown just down the road from his friend David Raven’s guest house. As well as helping to raise cash for Our House Body Positive, he also sat on the committee of the Rainbow Fund which back then raised money for people living with HIV/AIDS through entertainment events. Roy’s many show biz contacts proved invaluable when putting together countless shows. His own fancy dress parties, like his 60th birthday party at the Royal Albion, were also legendary.
Roy was a quiet man, and despite being positive he rarely talked about his condition and didn’t use the services on offer. Eventually the virus took its toll, and he became very drawn and simply faded away.
