Sorry to inform all folk music lovers, Maggie Cruickshank died last night having suffered a stroke at her nursing home here in Edinburgh. Maggie was a long-time 'folkie' who frequently appeared at all the local folk clubs - and many more - over many years. A CD of her and her late sister Liz was released recently and Edinburgh FC is currently organising the continuation of the tradition Maggie started many years ago of an annual January concert in The Pleasance raising funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care. isla
