Joy was from Harrogate and her first interests were in shanty singing in the 1970s and latterly in playing concertina to a high standard

Roy Hardacre played in a duo with her late husband and after his early death Joy trained as a physio ~ her memory was applied to this learning and she worked I believe for many years in this profession ~ I last spoke to her at Whitby ff some years ago

RIP Joy

Not sure why this was labeled BS if it is an obit; give us a bit more information about her (she died this year?) and we can update the subject line.

BS was wrong ~ needs deleting please

Joy was indeed a Bradford lass but well connected with my informant Roy and Michele from Harrogate

Stuart was her husband and I seem to remember going to the wedding with the likes of Joe Nicholson and Mo and Ian Woods

Oh no! How sad. I was on the same Morris side as Joy. Cononley Morris. She was a great concertina player but chose to dance for Cononley instead of playing music and was equally good at that. She was on here very rarely as, I think, Spectacled Warbler. I should have realised something was wrong as she had been deleting lots of earlier Morris conversations. I intended to get in touch and wish I had now. Sigh...

RIP, Joy.
