Sad news indeed. Of all the obituaries I've read on here in the last year or two (and there have been many, sadly) this is the first that's brought tears to my eyes. Bob was not only a singer, a keeper of the tradition and a thoroughly nice man, but his influence on several generations of folkies is incalculable. I - we all - shall miss seeing him at festivals. I hope he has a good time with Lonnie Donegan, Tony Rose, Sydney Carter and the rest!

Condolences to all the family and all those who knew him. Keep singing!

Steve
