There are several threads on Facebook that report that John Roberts has died. I think it was this morning, and I think he was 81. He was known as "Anglo" on Mudcat and he was a good friend and mentor to many of us. He was an amazing singer and a master of the concertina. He was always wise, and always funny, and always a friend to everyone.
Rest in peace, John. I thought you'd live forever after eating all those mussels, but it was not to be.
