From Ian Anderson of fRoots:-

We're very sorry to report the death last night of the great Bill Caddick, singer and writer of "John o Dreams", "Unicorns", "Waiting For The Lark" and many other wonderful songs. He was 74.

He had been hospitalised for some months, but his wife Katherine tells us that Bill died very peacefully last night, at home in his own bed, where he wanted to be, and with his family around him.
