We spent many great times together and I have such wonderful memories of him. I lived with Dot and himself in Tower Hill in Kirkby in the sixties. He was a true 'character' and a great singer. He'll be sadly missed! |

All the years I knew Bruce Scott before I discovered he was a musical genius. What a man, one of Kirkby's finest. He will be missed by many but his songs will live on. |
