Just heard the news about Ted and am devastated. I first met Ted and the rest of “The Gents” in 1977 when I first booked them for the Topic Folk Club in Bradford. They were booked every year until the disbanded at their final concert at Warwick Festival in 1982. During that time I got to know the band as friends meeting up at various festivals. During recent years I had caught up with ted and Sue again when they appeared at local ceilidhs with Steamchicken . I had hoped to get to the concert last year in Warwick but circumstances prevented it. Farewell Ted the world has lost a Top Lad and a fine musician.
