Just to add my own mini-tribute so many years on. Jon was, if memory serves, the very first professional artist I booked early in the life of a folk club at the Queen's Head in Shildon, Co Durham. It was my home town and the venue represented a slight moving up in the world from the smaller pub room where the club had started.

Up until Jon's appearance, again from memory, we had made do with floor singers.

Jon was, of course, head and shoulders above anyone we had seen at either place. It wasn't a great club by any means - I had more success later at bigger and better pub venues in the larger towns of Darlington and Bishop Auckland - but Jon gave us a night to remember and may have filled me with enough enthusiasm to persevere.
