I wished I had met him. Listening to an album he did with Ewan MacColl, "Whaling Ballads," was how I fell in love with sea music. It remains my all-time favorite recording of sea songs.

There are some mentions of him in Ewan MacColl's autobiography, "Journeyman." Not much detail on their collaborations, but the book is very much worth reading in any case, with MacColl's views on the UK folk revival. It includes a photo of him and Lloyd singing together at MacColl's "Ballads and Blues" folk club. Journeyman is out of print, but check www.bookfinder.com, which shows different online bookseller's offerings. It sometimes shows up there.
