A lovely man and good company, Brian had an uncomplicated singing style that really carried the songs that he sang very well. He was a great source of knowledge about all those iconic Lincolnshire singers that Grainger recorded over a century ago. We were on the same concert/song session line-up at various festivals over the years, most recently at Whitby in August.

Morning all, I'm afraid that it is with great sadness that I must report that Brian remains unconscious and critical in Scunthorpe General since collapsing on the 9th November with a heart attack.
Thanks for all the ongoing support and best wishes from the folk community. I'm sure Brian would loathe being in hospital but he's in safe hands.
