Are Bill Whaley and Dave Fletcher still performing, or indeed still with us?

They are still with us, but perform very infrequently.

I heard Bill had health problems.

Yes, Nick, he’s had a few health issues. Both Bill and Dave were in good spirits last time I saw them last autumn.

Dave Fletcher will be performing a solo spot at Lincolnshire Day of Folk at Leadenham Lincolnshire this Sunday afternoon at 4pm
Folk day is a great day free to all with local artists incuding Vicki Clayton and Winter Wilson

I had hoped to see Bill at Leadenham yesterday, but was told he is not well. So sorry to hear that Bill ~ hope you're feeling much better soon. However, Dave did a superb song spot, though it seemed strange seeing him alone on the stage. Big love to you Bill, hope to see you soon.

I have all Bill and Dave's albums - mainly bought FROM Dave, good to hear you're still around.

I was playing them just the other day - The Call and the Answer recorded by Sue at Faldingworth on YouTube (which made me dig out the albums again).

I wish you both the best of health where possible.

I have been putting together a couple of presentations for Whitby Folk Week and keep coming across stuff from my personal archive which leads me off at tangents.
One such was coming across Bill & Dave performing at the memorial event held for Brian Dawson in Sleaford - great stuff!
There was also a superb offering from John Connolly (a writer of sea shanties according to the dimwits at the BBC!). Hey hum!!

Dimwits in all departments. I was the biggest dimwit for working for them for 34 years. Well, it paid the rent. I would love to see Dave and Bill together again. Let's hope.
