RTim 2022 Obit: Remembering John Howson (26) Obit: Remembering Two UK Folk Stalwarts 24 Jun 22

I am surprised I have not seen on Mudcat any Obits for two of the UK Folk World who we have lost recently.
First, we have lost the East Anglian Folk Stalwart - John Howson.
John was well known for his support for music and musicians from England's East Anglia, with his wife Katie......As well as being members of local bands, they were also responsible for Veteran Records - a wealth of English music.

In addition, we have now lost - Gwilym Davies (click for obit thread) from Gloucestershire. Gwilym was a Morris Dancer, Musician and Singer and Song Collector and leading light on the Glos Trad - http://glostrad.com/ website (Do take a look...)
Despite his name - Gwilym was born in Hampshire (my own home country) and he started collecting songs and tunes there before moving to Gloucestershire.

Both will be missed and I send regards to their family's....
