This news grieves me, but Trefor has asked me to let you all know that Vicki passed away this evening. She'd been taken into hospital on Monday and it had become obvious that Vicki would not be able to fight this any more.

I know that Vicki treasured all her Folk Family and appreciated the good thoughts sent to her via the Mudcat. I'm certain that she would have wanted to say goodbye herself, but you all know that.

Trefor has expressed a wish that the news of Vicki's passing be spread far and wide so that all their friends are informed as quickly as possible. I know that you will all help with this wish.

Sometime soon there will be a musical Celebration of Vicki's Life, that was her wish. And we will make sure that happens, remembering Vicki is a pleasure.

Goodbye sweet Vicki, sending love and hugs to Trefor and all their family at this time.

Tears for poor Vicki, she was such a brave girl & didn't let it beat her!

She wouldn't have wanted us to cry though, rather we'll be happy she's at rest & not in pain anymore.

Condolences to Trefor from me, Mieko, Barby & Jim, all in Chester

I've been sat here for a while just taking in the news. You're right, Mr Happy, she wouldn't have wanted us to cry, but a few got away and I just couldn't stop them.

Keith is stunned and saddened as well and our hearts go out to Trefor and his family.

Lots and lots of hugs from both Keith and me.

John Henry and Jude rang me earlier with the news and asked I should pass it on which I have been doing.

I had hoped she would win but sometimes what we want doesn't happen. I got a feeling it hadn't really sunk in with Trefor yet as she seemed to be improving.

Another one has joined the festival in the sky.

Lots of love and hugs to Trefor and everyone else she was 'special' to.

Couldn't say anything on here last night as we were just reeling after Tref told us the news!

Vicki darling, your courage over the last few months has been an inspiration to us all! Trefor, now we need to be strong for you and with all your family and friends join you to celebrate Vicki's life.

Thank you for so many wonderful times, lots of laughter and your beautiful music - Your "happy ghost" is with us now and always will be and particularly special to us, as you know "Myfanwy."

"Give me your hand, gentle Myfanwy,
Only so that I can say the word 'farewell'."

Farewell Vicki, until we meet again in that big Folk Festival in the sky!

One half of the most gentle, and good-hearted pairing I ever met in this musical sphere of ours. Memories of Maghull Music Day and Southport Bothy come to mind, coloured by that special generosity of spirit that only Vicki had. This news is hard to take in, and I'm truly saddened but my condolences to Trefor and the family.

No! No! This kind of thing happens every time I'm away from the Cat for a couple of days...
I'm devastated.
It's all been said above - the words "beautiful and gracious" spring so readily to mind, but what a lovely singer too, and a true lady.
My deepest sympathies to Vicki's family and friends, but most of all to Trefor.
