This weekend I heard the sad news that Rob Scrase passed away a short while ago after several years of battling health problems. I understand his funeral will be held tomorrow (10th December) in Gloucester Crematorium. I've always enjoyed singing his classic song 'Bugger Bognor' and last talked with him at Upton Festival a couple of years ago. Rest in Peace Rob.

Time midday, and I gather the Crematorium is at Conley Hill Road off Eastern Road. Merek will be there and I must give Robs son Matt a DVD of Dereks Stag Weekend. Rob was in his element and Pat his wife(Folkwrite)was in stitches.
This being a late thread Im shure Matt would love commens from The Folk World

I remember Rob and Pat very well. Knew them for years, in Devon and in Barnwood, Glos. I haven't sung in Gloucestershire for ages now, so lost touch with Rob. Sadly, the last time I spoke to him was to commiserate on his wife Pat's death. Now he is gone too, and the folk world loses another of it's stalwarts. I will always remember Rob and Pat for their hospitality and kindness to me whenever I was around their area. Rest In Peace old friend. Burl
