Have anly just noticed that Acker Bilk has decided to call it a day from performing. Am very sad about that as I had hoped that we would have had the chance to see him on stage one more time before he came to this decision.
Acker is 85 and entitled to give up the hectic life that is the lot of the performing musician, we have seen him several times both here and in Australia and it was always a memorable experience, particularly in those joint gigs with the late Kenny Ball.
Hope that Acker has a long a restful retirement.
Don't know who owns the cartoon above but hope that they don't mind us using it as that is Acker
