Stuart is very fit and well, happily in retirement from teaching, and still making his lovely haunting music. Have you heard his WW1 song 'Remembered'? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFV8GXFzJaI Stuart and I were friends at Durham University in the late 1960s, often played (occasionally together) at the Chaplaincy Folk Club of blessed memory, and were aspiring song-writers. He always had a strong, romantic tinge to his songs, subtle guitar tunings and a relaxed style I loved (and envied). A really nice man into the bargain.
