I suppose it's true, but perhaps we shouldn't start an obituary thread until we get certain information. There's no news on his Website or on the BBC Website. We can also change the title of this thread, if and when it's appropriate. Perhaps that would be better than starting a new thread.

I had heard his name for years, and I'm so glad I was able to talk with him briefly and to hear him perform several times at Whitby Fowk Week a couple of years ago. His concert I liked best was the one he put on for the children and families. He had a mischievous twinkle in his eye, and the concert was lots of fun. He was a gracious man and a wonderful performer.

Hey, and he even had some nice things to say about Mudcat.
