I decided to re post this in a new thread as this is likely to turn into one of the biggest Folk send off's in many years, plus one hell of a session/celibration of her life.

Information about Sue's funeral:

Although an exact time has not yet been set it will be no earlier than 3.30 and no later than 4.00 on Thursday May 1st. Followed by a "do" at either the Willerby Manor Hotel or The Jarvis Hotel - these are the two closest to the Crem'. More details to follow. (so keep checking back)

No flowers but if you want to please make a donation to Dove House Hospice in Hull - Sue's request.

I have also been asked to try and get some kind of information about how many people are likely to attend - so can you PM me if you are coming. I know that to some people this is possibly a waste of time and space but Sue was very well known in the folk world and was very well liked and repected as well both as a person and a musician. If you attended Whitby festival you will no doubt have met her so it would be good if people who knew her from outside of Hull would be able to attend as well.

She has made serveral requests 1) for the City of Hull Pipe Band to play 2)for me to play 3) for Cara to play either at the funeral or at the reception afterwards. 4) for people to bring instruments voices etc and finally 5) for people to dress informally - she wants it to be a kind of joyous occasion

So that's it for now more to follow.

I would also like to thank you on behalf of those of us who loved her, her family and friends for the kind and supportive messages.

Love to all
John
