Subject: Obit: June Nichols - 7th Feb 2006
It really is with deep regret that we report the passing on, last night, of June Nichols - THE doyenne of the Folk Scene in Brisbane, Australia.
Ex- Bahamian and a beautiful singer, June was also the Editor of the monthly essential "Folk Rag" magazine - and more - and she will be missed SO much by SO many.

Hopefully her good friend Hrothgar, will soon feel able to write something here to do her Life justice.
Our love to husband Don (fellow performer and, like June, a Champion Moreton Bay Band member) and daughter Fiona.

Vale June.

Richenda and Paul.
ABOFOTS, Maleny
We really appreciated your encouragement and friendship.
