I'm surprised not to see more tributes to Tom. He and Barbara sang together and ran music clubs in west London for many years before moving to Combe Martin in Devon, where they were also running music events. They were a key element in Broadstairs festival with their singaround sessions. A lovely, warm and supportive man who had a wealth of knowledge about traditional music and folklore. He will be hugely missed.
I'm sure there's a lot more to be said about his life and achievements from his many friends.
