I have been copied into an e-mail from Carol Wood, editor of Tyke's News, which says, "Sid has been and still is ill. Hence no Trunch Trumpet. He intends to retire and will be giving a farewell performance at Whitby Festival this year." This will be sad news for his many fans.

Sad news indeed, though a long and happy retirement is well deserved!

To avoid confusion with the other, Lancashire, Sid (Calderbank), could the thread title please be amended to clarify that this is the Norfolk Kipper, Sid....

Must admit that I opened up this thread with that thought too!

For a moment I was worried for Sompting Morris's Sid Wakenham. Thankfully it wasn't him. Poor old Sid K though.

Am I right to infer that Chris Sugden will live on?

One would hope so, though it's not clear weather only Sid is ill or if Chris is ill too.

According to Sid's website he had a booking for the 13th September, so if Sid retired after Whitby it rather looks as though Chris is ill.

Dave Hanson - Henry died some years ago after retiring to an old folkies' home.

Hmmm, but did Dick Nudds pass away too.

I heard that Henry stopped singing because he couldn't handle the booze - when he would walk on stage and the audience would go BOO!
So when did he go into a rest home? And when did he die?
Such a sad loss.

Those who have not yet experienced a Sid Kipper gig will sadly, now not do - ever. Hope both Sid and Chris get better soon, and enjoy their retirement.

Dick Nudds was an agent for a while - not sure what he's up to now. And I, too, send my warmest wishes for Sid and Chris and their respective and mutual recovery.

Has anyone got recent news on how Sid/Chris is faring?

I had a chat with him a few weeks ago,around Christmas time.He was quite cheerful, and looked fine.I didnt want to pry,and I trust this is not undermining his privacy, but he did tell me that he has had numerous medical tests to try and ascertain what's been wrong - but none came up with anything definite. I dont think he's going back on his decision to retire from performing though.
