Subject: RE: 2021 Obit: Pete Collins From: The Sandman Date: 01 Nov 21 - 05:58 PM A vale of tranquillity, as the curtain comes down The stars brightly greet us as the silence surrounds each song that we sang fond memory records Like the stars in the night sky ,all of one accord. Chorus Farewell my friends once more As the night gets spent and our voices blend Farewell my friends once more 2. The hours quickly passing now the fire gets low The embers still glowing as we stir up the coals So we sang the last song ,each chorus a bond In harmony united all singing one song 3.The fiddler cast spells as she bowed away time. We drank down the music far stronger than wine. But the memories live on from the chalice of song Of this night spent together before we move on 4.united together combining as one Let us part in agreement, through the power of song All people in peace our voices concord Like the stars in the night sky all of one accord |

Subject: Pete Collins Obit From: Lurcherman Date: 01 Nov 21 - 01:29 PM I’ve been informed by his family that Pete Collins passed last Saturday from Covid. Pete was a big man with an even bigger voice and was well known for his performances at festivals and sessions. He ran the Neptunes Hall Session at Broadstairs for many years, was also a member of many Morris sides in Kent. You couldn’t have met a nicer bloke, so sad he’s gone, a big hole has been left in the folk world with his passing. |
