At the weekend we received this message from the Bowley family:

It is with great sadness that I have to report that Pat Bowley, lifelong folkie and founding member of Florabunda and Devonport folk club, passed away in the presence of friends and family at North Shore hospital at 3-50pm today (Friday 31st) at the age of 64.

A further message arrived last night:

Good Evening All,

As promised here are the details for Pat's funeral.

Service to be held at 1 pm at the

Maclaurin chapel
Auckland University
18 Princes St.

Refreshments to follow at the Old Government House

A final location for the Wake has not yet been finalised, but feel free to turn up with an instrument and/or song once it has been.

Thank you to all those who have sent the wonderful messages and
rememberances of Pat over the past few days. It has meant a lot to us all

Clare, Dominic, Nick, Irene and the grandchildren

A decoration of the scene for many years, impressive vocal range, and a readiness to help others. Sadly missed.
