I've spent the last few hours reading various threads and came across this one with the mention of Paddy Bell.
At the same time I'd opened another browser to link to the Corries page and found this article there:

My condolences, Murray


From Gavin Browne:
'My dad called me last night to tell me the sad news that Paddie Bell passed away after a long illness at 6pm on the 3rd of August. Paddie was a founder member of The Corrie Folk Trio and Paddie Bell, and together they recorded 2 albums in 1964 and 1965 called "The Corrie Folk Trio and Paddie Bell" and "The Promise of The Day". In 1965, Paddie left the group to become a mother, but she continued recording as a solo artist. In 1965 she recorded the album 'Herself' accompanied by Martin Carthy, and in 1968 she recorded 'I know where I'm going' with Finbar and Eddie Furey. Paddie returned to the Edinburgh folk scene in the 1990s with her own celebrated Festival show. She was a great supporter and regular attendant of Edinburgh Folk Club and appeared frequently at Festival Folk at the Oak during the Festival. In 1993 she released the solo album "The Dawn of a Brand New Day" and this was followed by 2 more albums in 1997 and 1998 titled "Make me Want to Stay" and "An Irish Kiss".

I was only a small child when Paddie was singing with the Corrie folk Trio and my memories of Paddie are from the last few years when I had the good fortune to visit her in her home here in Edinburgh. Paddie's voice was truly unique and she will be missed by everyone who knew her.'
