Obituary of Janey Buchan in today's The Guardian and on-line at http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/jan/18/janey-buchan?INTCMP=SRCH

Many top names from the folk scene are name-checked in this piece by Michael White.

I was introduced to Norman & Janey Buchan by Isabel Sutherland, sometime in the mid-1960s and I was bowled over by the pair of them. Everything about them seemed right - their politics, their all-embracing friendship, their enthusiam for life, their love of the Scots folk song & music tradition and their attitudes to life and parenthood; I wanted to be like them.

I felt rather ashamed to read that Janey's last home was in Brighton - only 8 miles away from me.l I simply did not know that or I would have been in contact with her.
