Early next morning we got the shocking news from Jenny that Dave had been taken into hospital with breathing difficulties in the early hours and had died. Deeply shocked I started to succumb to a cold which got increasingly flu like as the week progressed. Early in the week Nigel and I attempted to go through the motions of dealing with the impact on band bookings before wisely agreeing to cancel the next weekend's bookings at East Runton and Trimingham to give us time to take it in. As I type this on the following Friday, I still can't believe it. Dave was a truly great character and a best friend. We had a similar approach to entertaining the folks of East Anglia and he was a much respected musical confidant with a voice as big as his heart – the whole package of Dave is irreplaceable and the Foot Tappers will never be the same again.
