Sad News – Passing of Gwilym Davies
Message from his daughter, Mary-Ann Johnson:

“Last Sunday evening, my dad Gwilym Davies passed away, after a few months in hospital fighting a series of infections, complicated by being a transplant recipient. The kidney transplant he had a few years ago meant he could continue to live life to the full, both musically and having fun with his family and friends, and we are very grateful for the extra years it allowed us to spend with him.
The funeral will be at St. Peter's Church, Winchcombe, on 7th July at 2pm. We are also hoping to stream it on the St. Peter's YouTube channel, particularly for his many overseas friends. No black clothes, please, and family flowers only - charitable donations in his memory would be appreciated for two causes close to his heart: GlosTrad (http://glostrad.com ), the website he worked to set up to make Gloucestershire folk traditions available to all, and Kidney Research UK (https://www.kidneyresearchuk.org/ ). Donations can be sent to Alexander Burn funeral directors (https://www.alexanderburn.com/contact.html )”
