I met Roy on one if not two occasions at Tradition Song Forum meetings. I was struck by his boundless enthusiasm. I also have a number of his books, but would like to add that he took great interest in whatever YOU were contributing. To my regret, I never did thank him for giving me (unprompted) a photograph of an eponymous pub in the West Midlands when I was researching the mundane subject of treacle mines! Maybe in the next world!
