Matt was a welcome part of the Durham City Folk Festival and its successor Durham Folk Party, not only that but he was a friend for those 38 years. I remember him after Colin and Es Ryder and myself had performed at The Stables when we got back to Armour Towers taking the top off a bottle of whisky and throwing it into the waste bin with the cry "The next thing in there will be the bottle" and it was. I will raise a glass in his honour tonight "Farewell old friend" God bless you, Jane Ian McCulloch
