I can't say that I knew him, but saw him many times over the years. He was responsible for one of the nicest nights I've ever had in a folk club - at the Bracknell club he did a night where his much of his set was prompted by random thoughts, connections and some remarks from the audience. I remember it included I'll See You In C.U.B.A. (Bing Crosby in Blue Skies), the (longish) chorus of which he had the whole cellar singing.

A sad loss of a great musician.
