A very great loss. I was an organiser of folk nights in the Mid-Bucks area around 1972 and Matt never once said no when I asked him to come along. I remember introducing him once at Winslow Folk Club as the ' doyen of the local folk scene ' How old was he then? I got a lovely warm letter from him when I got back in touch in 2008 and bought one of his CD's. I will treasure it as a souvenir of the Big Man.
