Thank you to everyone who made the celebration/tribute concert so successful last night.

Thanks to all the performers - I don't know when I've heard such a wonderful evening of songs and music before.

Thanks also to all the people who brought food for the buffet.

Thanks to FOLKMOB for letting us take over their club for the evening,
I must apologise for the fact that I forgot to thank last night. I'm sorry if none of the regulars got a chance to perform, but I hope you all enjoyed the visiting talent, some ofwhom had known Bert for a long time.

Thanks to Wendy for organising the coach down from Walton and everything else she and Bill have done to ease Bert's last months.

And finally thanks to everyone who came along and heped to raise the magnificent sum of over £330 (we've still got some late donations) to go towards the charities which Bert's son and daughter are going to nominate.

As I said last night, I could have imagined Bert leaning on the edge of the bar with his rather sardonic expression, making critical remarks, and enjoying every minute of it.
