Sad news.

I met him at 'Folk on the Down' in Kent in about 1973 where he let me have a go on his melodeon. He was thus instrumental in getting me into the folk world (and hence causing musical anguish to many!). I remember he sang "Ticklers Jam". Happy memories.

A month or so later he and my mother had a (minor) road accident in London. Small world!
