So sorry to hear of the death of Derek Gifford, a great singer, songwriter and all round entertainer.
I’ll be singing When all Men Sing tonight at The Blue Anchor session in Helston in his honour.
RIP

So sorry to hear this. I knew he had not been well but he always seemed cheerful in his sardonic way. A great singer. I will miss his voice and friendship.

I was sorry to hear that Derek had died. He made a good contribution to the folk scene and will be sorely missed for his singing and his wide knowledge of songs of the sea and of environmental issues, especially with regard to birds. My condolences go to his friends and family and all those who know and love him. He has earned his place in the "In Memoriam" thread! RIP Derek
