Ian Robb is still with us, was born in England, and is currently based in Canada (Ottawa, Ontario, to be more specific).

And recorded a wonderful album with Margaret Christl for Folk-Legacy (I liked it so much that I bought a spare LP in case the first wore out, back before it was possible to digitize it), as well as with the Friends of Fiddler's Green, Hang the Piper, and others. He recorded the song on Folk-Legacy ("Rose and Crown"). You can find most of his newer recordings at https://sites.google.com/view/fallenanglemusic/cds?pli=1.

I might add that he has been in Canada for something like half a century. I saw the Friends of Fiddler's Green at the Winnipeg Folk Festival more than forty years ago.
