Oh no another one of the great people who got me interested in traditional folk song in the first place gone. Naturally, as a fellow Geordie, I saw more than my fair share of him in the sixties before he left for America. However it was after his return many years later that I got to know him better through regular bookings at TATT in Nottingham and his visits to The National at Sutton Bonington. I last saw Louisa in March last year at Birtley Folk Club's 50th birthday where she sang magnificently.
A sad loss; RIP Louisa.
