Anyone who met Edward Thorpe could be forgiven for thinking they had just met an angel, he was such a lovely man. I for one will miss him very much. Indeed the Festival will not be the same without Eddy snapping pictures for us. I know that all the committee and board members and anyone who had anything to do with Cleckheaton Folk Festival will join me in saying rest in peace Eddy. We will miss your music your fabulous photos and your sunny disposition.
