06 Sep 23 - 03:50 PM (#4180795) Subject: Tom Brown From: Hesk Tom Brown, who was well known on the UK folk scene, has sadly passed away in late August. He made a number of CDs with his wife, Barbara Brown, at Wild Goose Studios. Although I did not know him well, he was always friendly towards myself and my wife. I know there are others who knew them far better, and hope they can add some info to this thread about their many projects and involvement with the running of festivals and singing weekends. |

09 Sep 23 - 09:00 AM (#4190054) Subject: RE: 2023 Obit: Tom Brown From: Anne Lister I'm surprised not to see more tributes to Tom. He and Barbara sang together and ran music clubs in west London for many years before moving to Combe Martin in Devon, where they were also running music events. They were a key element in Broadstairs festival with their singaround sessions. A lovely, warm and supportive man who had a wealth of knowledge about traditional music and folklore. He will be hugely missed. I'm sure there's a lot more to be said about his life and achievements from his many friends. |

In the beginning I'd thought the thread might've been started but disappeared when the Cat was down, but apparently not. Tom, along with his lovely wife Barbara, was without doubt a major force on the UK folk scene, among its warmest, most welcoming and generous - and hugely knowledgeable - personalities, and a great singer. He will be massively missed. My deepest sympathies to Barbara and his many many friends. RIP, Tom. |
