Rob Murch replied to thereallyniceman's discussion Terribly Sad News for the Classic Banjo Community
"Such sad news. I’d known Dave for many years and what a lovely down to earth chap he was. Knowledgeable with all things banjo and his enthusiasm was very infectious. Shall miss his ‘ey up Murchie’ at Backwell Rally. Rest easy mate."

Thanks Rob! Your recordings are one of the things that inspired me to take up Classic style banjo... I also gave fingerpicks a second chance after hearing the brilliant tone you get with them!

Best,

Mike
