had a chat on the phone with Derek. He's getting over a nasty fall over a rug which left him with a very painful cracked rib.

someone has given him a an I-pad for his birthday, and he is consequently now on face book. I'm sure he will be glad to make some cyber friends and getting s few cyber pokes, and messages from his old mates on the folkscene.

I don't do facebook &c, Al; but should be grateful if you could pass all my 'get well soons' on to Derek.

He sometimes looks in here as well - cracked rib'll be a bit of a bugger for someone who laughs so much.

Best wishes, Unc.

At Derek's age (Poor old sod is older than ME) there is no such thing as a nice fall . Wishing him well and LOTS of sympathy re the cracked rib .
Been there and didnt like it !

just got a call from Del. He's had a nasty fall on the drive outside his house. Apart from a cut on his nose, he feels not too bad. But I bet he would like to hear from his old mates -if you can find the time to give him a bell.

Sorry to hear about it. His songs and stories have given me so much pleasure over the years. Very best wishes to him.

Very sorry to hear this.
Hopefully it doesn't sound too bad, and with a bit of luck Derek will be out and about and joking about it before too long.

Best wishes from a long time audience member.

Hey Al thanks for that, sorry to hear it though didnt know he was into golf, maybe he should forget the drive and just stick to putting....

Do hope he heals well.

Please pass on my best wishes , and to Jean.

I'll be in town tomorrow tell her

Glad there's no serious harm done, otherwise my first thought would have to be kept to myself:

Reading the thread title I thought:
Derek Brimstone had a nasty fall ... There must be a parody there, the scansion matches:
(The) Virgin Mary had a baby boy

Best wishes

Chin up Uncle Del, Annie and I are trying to come over from Aus in September and maybe we can catch up for a "Ruby" or some such.

Cheers

Hi Derek hope you are well . Just bumped into this site and it reminded me of those long lost days in deepest Cornwall where I first met you and your family at John battensbys cottage in perranwell. I rember we we all wearing our regulation folk uniforms of peaked cloth cap and knotted silk scarve and one of your boys called me a poofter! Of course he was duly admonished.. What wonderful times we had on the Cornish folk scene .         I rember you were booked at a local club which had a no smoking policy and it was wonderful to behold . Slowly and with deliberation you pulled out a packet of cigarettes lit one ,took a puff , attached it to the end of your guitar and said ' stuff it' or words to that effect. I wish you a long and happy retirement. Thanks for all the fun.
