Just heard that Dave died suddenly this morning. No details yet. Dave has been co-organiser of Fleetwood Folk CCCCClub for some years and is half of 'Spitting on a Roast'

A great shame, Dave was a wonderful person who'll be sorely missed by all those in the Fylde area and many more beyond. I might only have known him for a few years but he was a good friend who was always up for a laugh.

Another one gone then - what a shame. Do we have any more details yet?

Dave will surely be missed by "many more beyond" indeed, meself included. A fine fellow, who made such a contribution to so much music in the Fylde area.

RIP Dave.

We announced it at Longridge Folk Club last night.

Talking to Mike this morning, it would appear Dave collapsed in the street and was dead by the time the ambulance arrived, Mike isn't aware of the cause, but the usual Heart attack/Stoke is suspected (Dave was also a diabetic)

Mike says Thursdays Fleetwood Folk Club will still be going ahead although he feels it may drift more towards a chat and drink session.

see you further down the list Dave, RIP.

And God rest the dacent man. But why do ye all put down "obit" when someone dies. Why not say he died ? If ye want to be high falutin' and use the Latin form to say he passed away, then do it correctly. It should be "obiit".

"Obit" is used as an abbreviation for "obituary."

ok ok may be I was a bit pernickety over trivia and parading my bit of Latin. In the old old days OBIIT was actually written on the stone slabs. I don't think OBIT. is an accepted abbreviation for obituary but I take your point. And God rest all the good people who are gone before us.
