If there was good folk music going, Tone would be in it! His skills were not just in vocals (lead or harmonies) and melodeon or guitar, but in his ability to adapt from one genre to another with enthusiasm and authenticity.
That aside, he was just such a good-humoured person that it was a pleasure to be around him. I recall a joint birthday weekend with Jenny when it seemed that half the Folk Club was camped at their place. In the morning Tony was still sleeping when three of us (quite loudly) serenaded him with "I'll fly away", which seems rather poignant just now. Tony sat up instantly, a smile on his face.
I think a smile was his default expression. We'll miss you, Tone,
