Ken sang in recent years at the Norwich Gatehouse Pub 2nd Sunday session. I knew hardly any of his songs, but I was touched by his willingness to sing a song although he would often stumble with the words or pause to check out the words with the few people who might know the song. It was quite uplifting that he would never be embarassed or stop singing. He seemed to trust his audience to understand that singing a song meant more than just getting all the words right, singing his songs with such evident joy that his demeanour alone lifted spirits in the room, even when it was a song about some unfortunate's miserable death !
