Apparently fell and banged his head. The funeral is in Hale on Monday - he lived in Crescent Road, so it would probably be in St Peter's, the big red brick job on the bend. Don't know when but I'll ring Derek later and find out. VERY sorry to hear that - he has a wife and family that I've never met. When they left the Folk Club at the Malt Shovels, I took it over. Can you tell the Bollin Morris mob and anyone else who might know him from the old days? He worked at Granada, so I expect there'll be a big turn out." I last saw Bob to speak to when I was playing at a street ceilidh in Hale, it was as though the 20 odd years since we had last met just melted away - we just seemed to carry on conversations from where they left off.

Went to hospital, checked, sent home. Middle of the night, started retching - back to hospital and died there - assume brain haemorrage [sp?]. Funeral is at 11.30am on Monday at St Pete's in Hale.
