There is a piece on the Guardian website: http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/apr/29/stan-bootle-obituary And also pieces in the Liverpool Echo and a Liverpool-based website. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/liverpool-singer-songwriter-author-stan-kelly-7003481 http://www.liverpoolconfidential.co.uk/Culture/Stan-Kelly-Stan-Bootle-obituary-Liverpool-Lullaby Sorry, I always make a mess of the blue clicky, so please, can someone do that for me? Stan was a pioneer folk revivalist, being involved in the folk club at Cambridge University by 1950, even before MacColl had met Lloyd. he wrote the words of Liverpool Lullaby - as recorded by Cilla Black and others - and the song I Wish I was back in Liverpool. He was an early recording artist with Topic Records, a computer pioneer and a strong supporter of Liverpool FC (football club, not folk club!) He was last on stage singing at Bill Leader's EFDSS Gold Badge concert last Autumn. Derek |

I think he posted on here once in regard to his "Liverpool Lullaby" but cannot find it. I did find a posting by him here which gives a great link between two of his main passions and a good insight into his sense of humour. Condolences to his family and friends. Cheers DtG |

I knew him a bit at Cambridge, and better when I used to go the the club he organised and fronted for Bruce Dunnett at the Cranbourne in Gt Newport St. Fine singer. Delightful man. He will be much missed. ~Michael~ |

My little tribute is a blog devoted to a transcription of my first encounter with Stan. I've called it The Table Talk of Stan Kelly, and it can be accessed by clicking here - http://www.dyversemusic.com/2014/05/the-table-talk-of-stan-kelly-pt-1.html Thanks, Mike |

Some of his own comments seem to have been removed from his yt Liverpool Lullaby because I remember him apologising for mixing up the verses -over enthusiastic "wetting of the baby's head" was blamed I think! |

He was surprised that I knew of him when he introduced himself. He was generous in his encouragement and praise. A moment I'll not forget. |
