Sad news. I had the great pleasure down the years of knowing Bill Wilkes, as a singer and club organiser in various scenarios. I particularly enjoyed his participation in the quartet GU4 (spinning off the name of the pub/ folk club where that group were based originally, at the Grand Union pub in Barrow on Soar). Bill’s deep voice was the river that Pete, Karen and Miggy soared forth upon and their CD with its definitive version of ‘When I cross the bar’ shades all others imo. One of the few ‘folk’ albums I still play regularly. I missed out when the club moved to its new home in Sileby due to illness that cut short regular visits then the asinine lockdown. But I have the memories of attendance (plus somewhere a load of recordings and videos) and some acquaintance with a unique gentle man. A glass raised to his memory and condolences to Jenny and all friends…
