Ken Thompson died in December 2007 and I missed the opportunity at his 'wake' to speak to Lesley whom I knew since the mid sixties.
I sold her my Yamaha FG180 for £20 and a chinese meal in 1974
and I believe she sold it on to Tich in later years!
She re-introduced herself to me at the Edinburgh Folk Festival on the staircase of the Student's Union in 1989 and we went to the Royal Oak that night and had a smashing time in the company of the 'Cruickshanks', Paddy Bell and others and sadly, that was the last time I met that warm, cuddly, big voiced singer and big person who was Lesley Hale!

rest easy Lesley xxx
