Subject: RE: Folk Clubs, Greater Manchester 1960-99
Hi all,
Pete Wilmot was my Dad - I was just doing a search on Google for the Wellgreen Folk Club and this thread came up.
I am delighted that some of you remember him - I was not fortunate enough to be able to see him at work, but obviously those of you that remember him, do so fondly.
I just wanted to post a message to say that Pete passed away on Tuesday 27th April, and his funeral will be this Thursday 6th May, 12.30pm at St Wilfrid's Church in Northwich, Cheshire.
I am not in contact with any of his old friends from the folk club days, but if any of you are, or would like to attend yourself, then please do.
Dad always looked back on his folk-singing days with such happiness, and it would be great to meet any of you that knew him.
