It is with the deepest regret that I bring you the dreadful news of John Leahy's accidental death last Saturday.

I spent a happy afternoon with him only ten days ago, here in Cairns, on his way back home to Brisbane after the Yungaburra Folk Festival.

He is survived by his wife Anne and his two sons, Alex and Sam. My heartfelt commiserations go to his family and the many, many true friends on Mudcat and in the wider Folk community.

Please PM me if you need his Brisbane address for contact. The funeral is planned for this Friday.
