Like all of you, we were shocked to hear today of Colin's sudden passing. From working with Colin at recent Warwick Folk Festivals, I knew him to be a warm-hearted gentle giant, always ready with a smile and ready to lend a hand wherever and whenever it was needed. His laid-back manner could not disguise a desire to see a job done well. I remember on the Monday after Warwick this year, Liz & I sat with Colin keeping the tea, coffee and festival feeling flowing in the Moor & Coast tent just a little longer. I know next year I'll miss his distinctive voice over the radio, knowing that his "I'll sort it for you" meant that he would do just that.
Our condolences to his family and many, many friends

David & Liz
