I'm very sad to hear John has gone. He is a dedicated folkie who was responsible for getting hundreds of Australian folk songs on to the Digital Tradition. He loved Australian folk music, and helped keep it alive. I met him at out national Folk Festival a couple of years ago, he was a very down to earth man with a great sense of humour. I hope I always remember the session upstairs at the National a couple of years ago, when a friend he brought a long did a great version of the Monster Mash, with John rocking along beside.

It is tragic to lose such a warm, talented man to an accident.

all my best wishes to his family
