A little more from the Swindon Advertiser:

" SWINDON'S folk music scene is grieving the loss of one of the genre's greatest pioneers in the town and the man they all admired not only for his innate talent but his incorrigible optimism.

Mervyn Penny, of Shrivenham, died at his home on Tuesday, just two months after celebrating his 90th birthday surrounded by friends and family. "

RIP

Peter
