Greatly saddened. I know he wouldn't want a great deal of fuss, but I can't NOT say farewell to such a pivotal part of Liverpool and districts Folk life. Apart from the inflatable seagull, the parrot on shoulder etc. I fondly recall Thursday nights in 'The Dolphin' near Canning Place when he'd sing the Guinness song which extolled the virtues of the drink, detailing the counties of Ireland whilst drinking a pint of the stuff. 'Good old Kerry' got a mention and Sligo was always drawn out as 'Sliiigoooh'at the end of a verse. Terrific musician as Keith details and a dance caller of renown. A gang of us had a grand (and wet) weekend camping, singing and playing up in Keld not that long ago. Grand memories. I don't think they make 'em like Bernie anymore.
