Condolences to Richard and family. Brian will be sadly missed.I have fond memories of him as support act to the Coleby ploughjag.Scunthorpe museum have a folk display which includes a recording of Brian singing from Percy Graingers collection. It is well worth a visit.

I've finally managed to log on again - it seems that Mudcat was down yesterday at least in Notts. Many of you will be aware from the Radio Lincs folk programme on Wed of funeral arrangements.

Brian's funeral is confirmed for Tuesday 10th December -
1:50 at Lincoln Crematorium (Washingborough Road, Lincoln LN4 1EF) and
2:30 St John's church, High St, Washingborough LN4 1EJ for a celebratory service (3 miles east of Lincoln).

All will be welcome at both or either. We're trying to organise somewhere for a bite and drink afterwards but this is proving tricky thus far...

Thank you all for the wonderful memories of Brian being shared, they are keeping us going. There is a small but growing collection of recordings and photographs being assembled but do please keep these coming. It is dearly hoped to publish Brian's collected works in due course both in written and recorded form. You will all realise that this is no easy task, given Brian's notoriety for writing things down on scraps of paper! That said, he was meticulous in his writing.
I'm on [e-mail] if anyone wants to get in touch.
Richard.

As a follow up to my message last night about Brian's funeral, after the church service we will be retiring to Jubilee Hall, High Street, Heighington LN4 1JS for refreshments (next village from Washingborough). All welcome.
I can e-mail any maps required on request!
Richard.

My goodness, what an emotional day in bearing witness to such a marvellous response and turnout for Brian's funeral today. The singing in particular at both services was outstanding and at times overwhelming! Thank you to all those who came to Lincoln, Washingborough and Heighington and for messages received from those who couldn't come.
Particular thanks for the ongoing memories, photographs and recordings. Please do keep them coming as we consider (with advice!) how best to publish Brian's legacy.
Thanks too to those who contributed through readings, tributes, songs, baking and helping with refreshments - you know who you are!!
We're confident that Brian might even approve, at least in private.
We look forward to a restful Christmas and then to organising a memorial concert in 2014 (suggestions welcome).
In the meantime, best wishes to all from Brian's family.

an emotional day indeed! The huge turnout...(which I am sure would have been many times enhanced by all those who would have wished to be there but were unable to make it for a multitude of reasons)..bore witness to the love and esteem which so many held for Brian.

Richard, do have a restful Christmas and great idea to have a memorial concert next year. Might I suggest you fix a date fairly quickly then people can put it in their diaries. Venue etc can be sorted bit later. Thanks for your posts.
