Spent many years around the folk circuit - and unless someone had let him near the bar yes he WAS good. He also did various bits of TV and acting work - He was one of the policemen in Last of the Summer Wine. He also had a show on Radio Sheffield for a long time.

Oh, and a police record for a bit of stupid behaviour which caused him no end of problems :-)

He was also a good friend and a really smashing person to know.
