Yes, Sarah Morgan sadly died in 2013: she was the one who did most of the arrangements. We have had the trio do workshops up in Scotland, and later, Moira and Carolyn.
Moira Craig and Carolyn Robson did take a break after that but are still out there performing and running harmony workshops, notably at Whitby Folk Week, Moira doing the Ballad workshops at Sidmouth, and Carolyn some solo work.
We chose the CMR version of "Crossing the Bar" for my Dad's funeral, he having been in the Royal Navy, the imagery was perfect.
The Spooky Men's version of "Crossing the Bar" is also very beautiful, nice and slow.
