Strangely enough we had 1 recording of Alan from the evening when he was a guest on Sounds of Folk, singing One Starry Night, so we played that. It was such as trange feeling - listening to him sing when he wasn't here. Very emotionl.
He was such a big part of oiur lives, and of folk music in ngeneral, particularly in Saddleworth and Tameside, that I still can't believe he's not here. I still expect him to start playing and singing, and Kath to accompany him!
