I've just got back from Malcolm's send off.

After Bob Dylan's 'Lay Down Your Weary Tune', Raymond Greenoaken introduced four speakers on four topics.

The Illustrator: Tony Husband (cartoonist)

The Mudcat Hero: Dave Eyre (of this parish)

The Indispensible Quiet Man: Ron Day (South Riding Folk Network)

The Scholar: Malcolm Taylor (Vaughan Williams Memorial Library)

Then Musicians Martin Harwood, Keith Hinchliffe and Cath James played for Tegwen Roberts to sing 'Linden Lea', a piece that Malcolm himself nominated as his funeral music on a Mudcat thread.

Then the assembled company went to the Kelham Island Tavern in Sheffield to play music and sing songs.

It was a fitting send-off for a remarkable man.
