Very sad news indeed. Olly's and my thoughts are with Roger and Ossian - Stuart, who was Siwsi's partner in Mabsant, too.

Pat and I were one-half of Bedwen Haf, which was a twmpath band. Siwsi and Stuart were the other half, and we formed Llantrisant Folk Club out of it. Eventually Siswi married Roger and moved to Bassett Street, Abercynon.

Mabsant, inspired by Siws's passionate singing, was a band ahead of its time. Even now, as more tracks are released, Mabsant doesn't age.

Here's to a suberb singer and a wonderful musician indeed.
