04 Dec 11 - 02:23 PM (#3268399) Subject: Any news of Noel Murphy? From: Will Fly I was down in Brighton this afternoon, watching a couple of mates playing and got into conversation with another punter about Noel Murphy. We had both known Noel on the London folk club scene in the late 60s and early 70s (Noel & Shaggis), and she mentioned that Noel, now living in Cornwall, is very unwell. I wondered if anyone on Mudcat had been in contact with Noel recently. If he is ill, I know several people who would like to send him a collective "get better, Noel" message. |

Memories of Clanfolk (BBC Folk Club) days, when Pete Charlton was running it - Noel was always very popular and gave us a great evening. Nyaaaah! |

11 Jul 12 - 06:36 AM (#3374832) Subject: RE: Any news of Noel Murphy? From: GUEST,Chris B (Born Again Scouser) I'm terribly shocked and saddened to hear about Sue. I knew Noel fairly well when he lived in Whitton in the 70s. He was terrifically supportive to me when I was getting started in playing Irish music (as he was with many young musicians). Thoughts and prayers for Noel, Siobhan and his older daughter, Jennifer. Haven't seen or heard from Noel in nearly 20 years. As I recall, Sue was only a fairly young woman. Such a shock. |
