Very sad news. When me and my recently-left-school mates first went to the Bothy Folk Club in Southport in 1970 to sing, he was very encouraging, and I remember talking to him on the train back - in my case to Crosby, in his case to Liverpool - after the club. Subsequently saw him a lot in the 70s at the old Loughborough Folk festival and Sidmouth. Last saw him at the Bothy's 50th anniversary last year. Always enthusiastic, he was a man of integrity and dignity. RIP Stan.
