Recovering rapidly from a bout of meningitis, still in hospital but cheerful and cracking jokes - and I think he's due for release on Wednesday if all goes well. Er, that's tomorrow, I suppose....

I would dearly love to know how he is.

A great folk musician and a lovely person- one of the best.

His web site mentions nothing.

...if he's still there by the time any cards etc. arrive...

Seems he's lucky they got him into hospital in time, and he recovered from quite poorly to feeling fine and good test results in a few days.

Southampton General Hospital has done some wonderful things for me and my family in the past.
