Goodbye to George Bacon

In the early hours of Sunday morning George Bacon, the front man for the band Hog Hoggidy Hog passed away. This is a huge loss for our industry; George was an inspiration to many of us here at Bothners, with some of us in the audience for the Hogs show on Friday. George will be sorely missed.

The band has released the following statement: “It is with great sadness that we write this message. We have lost our brother and his memory will live on in our minds and hearts forever. All our love and condolences to Verena, Draco and family. George, you will be missed with all our hearts.”

A support fund has been set up to aid the family. If you would like to make a small donation to help them out, {follow this link}

 

So Long

You’ve been my friend through all these years
I saw your pain and you drank my beer
I said I’d never let you be alone

Down and out but you threw away
all the luck that life ever gave
and now you blame the world for doing you wrong

It’s sad to say goodbye, (So Long So Long)
Till we meet again (So Long So Long)
It’s sad to say goodbye, (So Long So Long)
Till we meet again (So Long So Long)
