GUEST,Derek Schofield Obit: Stan Kelly-Bootle (1929-2014) (11) Obit: Stan Kelly-Bootle 30 Apr 14

And also pieces in the Liverpool Echo and a Liverpool-based website.

Sorry, I always make a mess of the blue clicky, so please, can someone do that for me?

Stan was a pioneer folk revivalist, being involved in the folk club at Cambridge University by 1950, even before MacColl had met Lloyd. he wrote the words of Liverpool Lullaby - as recorded by Cilla Black and others - and the song I Wish I was back in Liverpool. He was an early recording artist with Topic Records, a computer pioneer and a strong supporter of Liverpool FC (football club, not folk club!) He was last on stage singing at Bill Leader's EFDSS Gold Badge concert last Autumn.
