Thanks Pete, I wasn't sure how often you check the forum for obits so added Francie McPeak here, before the thread dropped off the page.

I hadn't posted about Cyril before but decided to add him to the post at the last minute, his death was unexpected and a shock. Especially his singing contributions would have been appreciated on Mudcat. Sometimes it's hard to decide if someone is outside Mudcat's remit or the ouside the interest of readers here. I also didn't mention Charlie Lennon here who died during the summer. He's much missed by the traditional music community in Ireland. And I don't want to be the one who post obits all the time, even though I think it's important to acknowledge the people leaving us.
