The words posted here are a fine tribute, to a fine fella and great mate!
I first met Johnny over 30 years ago and since then he has appeared at all but two Bedworth Folk Festivals, ALWAYS the first name on my guest list!
Over the years he became a great friend both inside and beyond folk music, and latterly myself and Brenda had arranged annual holiday trips with Johnny & Joyce - and had some really great times.
As everyone says he will be sadly missed - and as Bill said I'm sure Johnny's voice is somewhere in that thunder outside!
All our thoughts are for Joyce (especially for her bravery in phoning me, and many others, this morning to break the news) and the family, and to Jim handling things at the Poland end.

The memories will live on .... "The singer has left his song on the air"
