I have just heard the news that Muppet died on Wednesday night whilst performing at the Fox at Shipley. I can hardly believe this, I have been fortunate enough to have known Muppet for decades, walked with him, drank with him, sang and laughed with him time and time again. Never heard him say a bad word about anybody, the world and Whitby in particular will be a sadder place without him. Rest in peace Muppet my old friend. Thanks for the many times we spent together.
