Of much interest thank you. They were all dear friends of mine. Peter would always stay with us for the Cambridge Folk Festival, and I a couple of times with him for the Norwich one before he moved to Yorkshire. My late wife Valerie and I were among first Jenny called to tell of his death in 1991, and I was at his funeral. Royston had stayed in my Cambridge house for the Cambridge Folk Festival of, I think, 1975; he died in an absurd street accident in NYC in 1990. I had dinner with Heather in New York in 1992 ~ last time we met face to face. She was then singing in a group with two New York guys, one of whom, she told me, had said facetiously to her "Is it OK ~ you are not a very lucky lady to sing with, are you?" She had, fortunately, it appeared, taken this as the joke intended. For some years after that, I had one of her beautiful self-produced Xmas cards every year, though not for the last few years. I last heard from her in an email in January 2011, on learning I had got married the previous June; and she sent me a flier for a concert in early 2011 in which she was singing. I take it she is still living in W 54th St.
