Subject: RE: Obit: spoons player Bert Draycott (1930-2017)
I've been thinking about Bert and Brian Peters phrase "he always stole the show" which brought to mind Bert joining one of our annual Rescue Boat fund raisers about 18 months ago.
Yes Bert once again stole the show, I think the assembled company would have been happy if Bert had just performed all night such was his ability and talent.
I last saw him in August in the Black Horse, Whitby were once again he stole the show. By far the best "turn" all afternoon.
I am sure he will be greatly missed, not only by myself, but by all who had the good fortune to ever see him perform.
