Can I use Mudcat to report to UK members the death of my father Worcester Jerry, storyteller, on Sunday 23rd September, aged 90.
Worcester Jerry (Gerry Tysoe) started storytelling 13 years ago, after he had started to go to folk clubs following the death of my mother in 1987, and throughout the 1990s appeared regularly at folk clubs and festivals. In the last year or so his increasing frailty had virtually stopped him performing, but I am sure he would like to be remembered by the many friends he made in the folk world.
The funeral will take place at St Anne's Church, Wyre Piddle at mid-day on Tuesday 2nd October.
