10 Apr 14 - 03:58 AM (#3617146) Subject: RE: Alan Bell's 80th Birthday From: Dave the Gnome Is there any truth in the story that during one of the early Fylde Festivals Alan was so stressed that he took a ferry to the Isle of Mann and back to avoid people pestering him? I would love to believe it. But in any case, happy birthday, Alan. Cheers Dave the Gnome |

When we did 'the River Wyre Walk' [that led to the 1st Fylde], Alan annouced that 100 or so had walked down the Wyre for the R.N.l.I., a voice from the back cried "no Alan, we walked down the banks, you walked on the Wyre!" |

He was most amicable and wished us fledgling upstarts all the best. Thereafter we appended our home town to our name. Hats off to this excellent songwriter and stalwart of music in the north west and beyond. |
