Very brief details came in a phone call yesterday evening from Anne Parfitt-King, who had been contacted by John's brother in Essex.
John was a stalwart of Sussex folk clubs and ceilidhs in the 1960s and 70s. He played English concertina and wrote a chronology of the Lewes Arms pub.
He died in a nursing home in Peacehaven on Friday 8th. January 2010 aged 81. The funeral will be at the crematorium nearest to Horsham, but the date and time have not yet been fixed.
