I am sorry that Anahata and I won't be able to get to the funeral or wake. Sing a song on our behalf please - something loud and happy!

Colin was one of the best stewards we have ever had the privilege of meeting at a festival - nothing was ever too much trouble and he was unfailingly cheerful, helpful and full of enthusiasm. Our sincere condolences to all his family. I hope it is some consolation to know how much he was loved and respected by the whole folk community.

And, thanks to Theresa for putting the information about donating over the phone to the RNLI. Ours has gone in today.
