Yes a man of great wit and I feel a great sense of loss that he has gone. However Radio 4's re-running of old clips in rememberance of him has had me rocking with laughter and I feel sure that his sharpness will ensure that he keeps us laughing for a long time yet via the radio.

Humph had a connection with the folk world that nobody above has pointed out so far as I can see,in that he was for a time an honorary vice-president of the Workers Music Association, from which Topic Records sprang. I quote from The British Folk Revival 1944-2002 by Michael Brocken,

Humphrey Lyttelton actually became honorary vice-president of the WMA alongside Bert Lloyd, Aaron Copeland, Inglis Gundry and Paul Robeson. Folk and jazz had a shared livelihood and the WMA supported both at political events , booking folk and jazz performers to entertain fans and protesters alike.
