It is with great sadness and regret that I have just heard of the passing earlier today of Judy Dinning one of the best female vocalists on the British Folk scene, who for the last few years has fought a valiant battle against cancer.

A lovely lady, with a voice and personality that will be greatly missed. Heartfelt condolences to Judy's family and to her partner Kenny Speirs, our thoughts and prayers are with you - Rest in Peace Judy.

I'm so glad I was able to, and had the courage to tell her how much she inspired me to sing. She fought well.

Perfect match of Dave Smiths guitar and her voice in the early days on the festival circuit.

That's sad....I only know of her because she was a Bad Penny....some how when I recognised the name, she began singing in my ear.

It's not much, but my thoughts are with those who knew her.

It is sad she was a lovely lady, had a great talent, and was very brave over the last couple of years.

Such tragic news.
We have loved Judy's singing over the years especially as one of Jez's Bad Pennies and more recently with Kenny and different line ups of Real Time. Have been looking through our photos of her and thinking about her wonderful voice, her courage and the times we spent chatting to her and Kenny after their gigs.
Our thoughts are with Kenny and her family..

What a loss. But what a wonderful legacy of her singing we can always enjoy. Sometimes there are no words, but one song Judy sang which will always bring her near is 'Underneath the Stars'
Our thoughts are with Kenny and Judys family.

What can I add to all the wonderful tributes to a great singer and a great human being. Every time I met her she was the same bubbly generous person who personified what's decent in a human being. All my condolences to Kenny and her children and grandchildren. Will be so sorely missed.
