Peter - my reaction exactly! Well, I expected some really bad news at any rate. So I'd support Ross's suggestion, to put details of the gig (or whatever the occasion of the thread is) in the title when starting a thread on one of the elder and more revered members of the folk community and spare Mudcatters' nerves. Thanks in advance!

Hope it's a good night. Saw him with John Kirkpatrick at Shepley last year, freezing to death on stage (but singing well nevertheless).
