It's very sad to hear that Dennis has left us. I recall him as a key figure at many folk events in and around Oxford during the 1960s, always making a valuable contribution as singer, dancer, compere or organiser. His version of "The night the Old Dun Cow caught fire" was hilarious, and so were his antics as Fool for the Oxford City Morrismen. Before his first Towersey experiment he was already putting on informal concerts for community groups and youth clubs, bringing our kind of music to people who would probably never have dreamed of going into a folk club. A good man who will be sorely missed.
