Tributes have been paid to Nova Cascade mainstay Dave Hilborne, who has died at the age of 56. At the time of writing, no cause of death had been announced. Hilborne’s skills as a singer and keyboardist were initially bolstered by bassist Dave Fick, flautist Charlie Bramald, guitarist Alessio Projetti and violinist Heather Leslie. They were latterly augmented by the late Nine Skies guitarist Éric Bouillette and drummer David Anania. Nova Cascade released the albums Above All Else (2018), A Dictionary Of Obscure Sorrows (2019), Back From The Brink (2021), The Navigator (2023) and 2025’s Box Man.
