Don't know but I'm sure playing in all those clubs before the smoking ban can't have helped.

I'd forgotten Fred went to Swansea Uni, I feel more connected now

Yep, a Bristol legend all right. My landlord was from Keynsham and had an album of his (which was good) and I've always enjoyed "The Oldest Swinger In Town," though it's getting more apposite in my case now 
I visited his website about a year ago and he lamented the fact that most of his gigs were private and corporate functions rather than the small clubs, which he obviously enjoyed more. If that was true it was a shame because he was a very good club act.
He was a big Bristol City fan and his father played for the club. I hope they'll give him a mention at their next game.
P.S. Just read Geri's link and from the comments - I didn't realise he used to be a geography teacher! Wow.

They already have - they did a minutes applause for him and Keith Alexander last saturday. He (and his family) was more than a big city fan btw - the Wedlock Stand is named after his grandad who was city and england captain, his uncle and old man also played for them, and they ran the city pub near the ground.
