I don't see any other mentions of Mick Softley on Mudcat, but he did compose other songs besides Gold Watch Blues.

From Wikipedia:
"Michael Softley (26 September 1939 – 1 September 2017) was an English singer-songwriter and guitarist. A figurehead during the British folk scene, Softley set up his own folk club, released three albums and worked with performers such as Mac MacLeod, Donovan, and Maddy Prior. Donovan covered two of Softley's songs ('Goldwatch Blues' and 'The War Drags On') in 1965. Dave Berry also covered two of Softley's songs ('Walk Walk Talk Talk' and 'I Love You Baby') in 1966."
