Alex Nearney ("alex s" on Mudcat) died recently. He ran Burnley Folk Club for a number of years, plus his ceilidh band "Millstone". More recently he organised a couple of monthly sessions, one purely instrumental one mixed, always well attended.

So sorry to hear that. I played and sang with him a number of times and he recorded with me on one of my CD's. We will miss him. RIP Alex.

Alex deserves more than one reply. He was a pleasant, and intelligent man and a good organiser and singer. He booked a lot of good people at Burnley Folk Club. Were you one of them? Let's raise a glass to him, and remember him here on Mudcat.

Yes, let's raise a glass to Alex. He was indeed a pleasant and intelligent man, a good organiser, singer and also a good guitarist. Barbara and I have happy memories of Burnley Folk Club which Alex organised with some enthusiasm and there was many an occasion he organised, both in Burnley and beyond, in which we enjoyed his company along with his cherished 'Guild guitar.

I never knew Alex but good organisers, singers and guitarists are always special people. I have added his name to the "In Memoriam" thread and send my condolences to his friends and family. RIP
