Lovely man. Soon as I saw his name I could picture him.
Thread title a bit of a shock as I did think we'd lost him.

Thread title could be misleading Brian is no longer with us as of last year RIP

Everything thatis good about the folk revival showed up in Brian. I only wish there had been more like him   It's grand to see that he is remembered. I for one will never forget him.

I echo that sentiment Roy...learned so much sitting across from him in the band...so many tunes...so many stories...so many priceless Lincolnshire songs....
He was, and will remain, ageless....

We've missed him at so many sings this year. What a lovely singer and man. Keep his songs being sung for him. Apart perhaps from the Owls and the Mice?

We heard Owls and Mice sung in Tony and Pearl's singaround at Grove on Saturday, then listened to the Kiveton recording of Brian singing it as we drove up to Whitby yesterday!

There is a move to compile recordings of Brian and produce as many C D's of his songs as possible. If you have recordings of our beloved Brian please let me know. "[e-mail]". Richard Smith is heading the team with Martin Graebe, Bob Bray, Derek Scofield , Me and several others. Lovely to see the responses and yes Roy he was a wonderful Bloke and Singer
P S I am 75 today we almost went to the same College. We took Brian for a Chinese in Lincoln one night, Richard, his nephew was truly amazed as Brian was a "Meat and 2 veg " man. We discussed ages, and Brian decided he was much older than me, just 2 days was the outcome

Much missed at Sidmouth this year. A regular at both morning and evening singarounds at the Y and F and others.

I have recordings made in The Volunteer at Sidmouth. Martin Graebe is aware, and I believe he is coordinating any other's recordings.
As per custom, Brian (and others) was recalled in our 'silent toast' during FolkWeek.
I also understand his mummers play collection is also being reviewed.
