I can second that Eric. Bert was a prolific song-giver. He added plenty to my repertoire. He would phone with the comment 'I've found a couple you might like to try' then a few days later the song would arrive in the post. He always wrote the words and music on an A4 sheet turned sideways. He wrote letters the same way.

Bert Lloyd was a large part of my folk music life, I owe him so much. I sing at least a couple of his song gifts on every gig, and mention his name. Bert believed in passing songs along, I've no doubt that he gave some to the Waterson's. I remember a member of The Valleyfolk telling me of the number of songs he gave them, many to be found on their Topic album. He gave that 'pass the songs along' belief to me too. I've tried to live up to it though of course I couldn't ever match his output. The number of grand songs he gave that are now standard in the revival are tribute to his generosity. A great man.
