My story

 

This page has been set up in memory of David Ferguson, former Chairman of BASCA, friend and colleague to many in the music industry.

David sadly passed away on Sunday 5th July following a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.  David's family have requested that flowers should not be sent, but anyone who would like to remember David can do so by giving a donation to Dorothy House, the hospice which cared for David until his death.

Donating through JustGiving is quick, easy and totally secure - your details are safe, will never be sold on and you will not receive unwanted emails.   Once you donate, JustGiving will send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - more money is raised, whilst saving time and cutting costs for Dorothy House.

Thank you for visiting this site and paying tribute to a formidable man.
