I'm very sad to hear this. In days long gone I have played in front of his bass (including some of the non-folk tunes for Herga birthday meetings), but in later years I usually only saw him at the Herga Mummers Boxing day tours and after I left London not at all.

He was always good company when we did meet and I used to look forward to seeing him on Boxing days.

My sympathies are with Denise.
