Fred Wedlock - died 5 March 2010

We are saddened to hear of the death of Bristol Folk singer and humourist, Fred Wedlock, who passed away in Bristol on the 5th of March 2010. Fred has been a well loved face around the Folk scene since the mid-sixties. He once appeared on Top of The Pops with his No.6 chart hit 'The Oldest Swinger In Town'. He really was a great character. He used to say, "I had a great start in life. I was born in a pub!" (His parents owned a pub near Bristol in the forties.) He will be sadly missed by all who had the pleasure of meeting him.
