I was very saddened to hear of the death of Flos Headford, one of the great eccentric characters that have made the folk scene in Britain such an interesting place.
A lovely man and a great inventive fiddle player.

Just heard the news too. Inspiring player, great company in a tune session or anywhere else, and very knowledgeable too behind that eccentric character. RiP Flos.

I'm sure we'll be playing some of his tunes at The Old Bridge, Ripponden tomorrow night.

Such sad news! Flos was a fine fiddle player, a thoughtful contributor to "Shreds & Patches" and a pleasure to know. Deepest sympathies to Sheila and his many friends.

Sad to hear that Flos has passed away, I always looked forward to him playing on my stage at Sidmouth, a lovely person and you knew you were in for some excellent traditional fiddle playing with a touch of his own mischievous eccentric fun thrown in.

I never heard Flos play, but hearing how well he was thought of, I soon found some excellent recordings of his on YouTube. Do have a look if you have a mind to. I have added his name to the "In Memoriam" thread and am sending my condolences to all those who know and love him. RIP Flos.
