Sadly I have added Muppett (aka Michael Pascal) to the roll today. I guess many of us would like to go in a similar manner to Muppett. Singing a song and enjoying a folk session. Rest in peace Muppett.

Linda Kelly has been added to the roll. She was a much loved singer and songwriter from northern England and was well known throughout the folk world. There are some great examples of her singing on the Internet. Do look them up. RIP Linda.

Hello Peter,

Thanks for the information on Cyril O'Donoghue. I have added both the people you mentioned to this thread. I was already aware of Francis but usually wait awhile before adding so that there is enough information posted to help me give a fair representation of the artist.

All the best,

Pete

I have added Francis McPeake and Cyril O'Donoghue to the roll today. Two giants of Irish folk music who travelled the world bringing their music to a wide and appreciative audience. There is much to see (and hear) on the web. May they rest in peace.

Thanks Pete, I wasn't sure how often you check the forum for obits so added Francie McPeak here, before the thread dropped off the page.

I hadn't posted about Cyril before but decided to add him to the post at the last minute, his death was unexpected and a shock. Especially his singing contributions would have been appreciated on Mudcat. Sometimes it's hard to decide if someone is outside Mudcat's remit or the ouside the interest of readers here. I also didn't mention Charlie Lennon here who died during the summer. He's much missed by the traditional music community in Ireland. And I don't want to be the one who post obits all the time, even though I think it's important to acknowledge the people leaving us.
