dmccombe7 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Did @Bilbo resurface ? I haven't seen or heard from him and i follow his transcription thread on BC. His transcription site is also down at moment ? I know there was a question asked already but search couldn't find it. Dave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I hope that he wasn't another lost in 2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer.b Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Oh no hope he's okay , called Rob Palmer I think if anyone knows him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I recall that Rob/Bilbo had a heart issue some years back which resulted in surgery and stents. Hopefully, however, he is alive and kicking and simply taking time out from social media 🤞 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 PS, the same question has been asked on TalkBass where he hasn't posted since July last year and his avatar picture has vanished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len_derby Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Yes, I’d noticed he hadn’t been on the forum for a long time. I thought about him at Christmas when my jazz-loving mother-in-law came to stay. I gave her my copy of Rob’s ‘Mr P.C.’ Book and a bottle of brandy. That kept her quiet for a few hours. Thanks Rob, wherever you are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 Was hoping someone knew him personally and could ask if he's ok. This question has been asked last year and nothing came from it. Such a great guy and nice to talk Prog with too. Just hoping all is ok with him.

Mike Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) I know him a bit and have friends who are close to him - I'll have a dig. EDIT: I've sent him a text message sending him our best.

Clarky Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I PM'd through this forum but it hasn't been picked up and I do not expect a reply. I hope your text elicits a response that brings us all cheer @Mike 🤞 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Unfortunately my text has gone unanswered. I contacted some friends who have gigged with him, and they haven't heard anything either. One had emailed a while ago regarding another booking and not heard anything back. So unfortunately I have no news whatsoever - he's no longer on Facebook as we were friends on there and I can't find him. I assume if something had happened we would have heard. I really hope he's okay. Sorry not to have any positive news. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I’ve asked a function band he was working with a while ago, but heard nowt back yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 A member of Also Eden returned my email. He had not heard from Rob but said he would try and contact him and Rob's brother, who he also knows. Fingers crossed (again) for good news 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) I remember him posting the song he did with Also Eden. It was a great bassline for it. Here's hoping he's ok. Definitely miss him on here. Hoping he's won the lottery and taken a long trip away from everything to settle down as a millionaire and avoid begging letters Dave Edited January 27, 2023 by dmccombe7 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
