Floyd Pepper Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 I've waited until there was more public information but I was concerned to see Norman Watt Roy leave the stage mid-song last night at a Wilko gig looking rather unwell. According to messages from his technician this morning, it does appear that NWR had a suspected heart attack but is OK and recovering in hospital. If any one in the community has any connections with Norman, please pass on my best wishes and here's hoping for a speedy recovery. Quote
toneknob Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 Just seen this on Dylan Howe's facebook page as well. Get well soon Norm! I'm sure all of BC is sending him reasons to be cheerful. Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 Yep get well from me, what a player. Quote
gary mac Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 Monster of a player, one of the best. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Quote

BassYerbouti Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 I was at the gig last night and managed to get up close to watch the great man's technique - he is amazing and must have burnt a few thousand calories wrestling those beautiful tones out of his bass. Wishing him a speedy recovery Quote
Bassman Sam Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 http://youtu.be/CBIRj3JW3h0 Just a wee reminder of how good he is. Quote
bassintheface Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Indeed get well soon Norman. We're booked to support Wilko on Weds in Llangollen, but had a call off the promoter saying the gig has had to be pulled and will be rearranged. Quote
KiOgon Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Best wishes Norm for a speedy and full recovery, don't let the bastards get you down. Quote
