And from John Barrow of Stoneyport Associates:

I am sorry to report that my oldest friend in Edinburgh, Ian Green, died at 90 years of age yesterday afternoon, Sunday 10 March 2024, in Edinburgh's Royal Infirmary. We'd been firm friends since about 1968-69. Ian ran the Police Folk Club from about 1966-67 (I think) until about 1980 and became one the organisers of the Edinburgh FC in 1973 as well as one of the editors of Sandy Bell's Broadsheet from 1973 until 1982. When I ran the Edinburgh Folk Festival Ian worked as stage manager from the beginning (1979) through my tenure as festival director. Along with John Allan (who died 2-3 years ago) and myself Ian was one of the organisers in 1982 of what ultimately became the Acoustic Music Centre. And when he retired from the police around 1985 he created Greentrax Records. Through all that activity he was a constable in the then Lothian and Borders Police Force (he retired as an Inspector when Greentrax started). The folk scene has lost a most highly valued friend who took integrity to a new level. Ian was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Royal Scottish Conservatoire such was the respect in which he was held. A very sad day for his family and for the many friends he acquired around the world over the years.
