From: GUEST,Guest Michael in Swansea

Had the sad news yesterday that Dave Robinson, well known at shanty festivals, passed away on Sunday 26th Jan.
Dave had been on the folk scene since the beginning of time and will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
RIP Dave
Mike.

Dave was responsible for founding Baggyrinkle, Swansea Shantymen, May 1994 who performed at festivals throughout Europe and USA. Before the 'Baggies' he'd got other groups together, King's Shilling for one.
Apart from the shanties, Dave had an extensive knowledge of folk music in general and was welcomed at all the clubs in the S Wales area with open arms.
The last few months of his life ne spent in a care home.
There's a lot more I could tell, but I'll just leave it there.
I was proud and honoured to have known him.
RIP my old friend
