According to contributions to his Wikipedia page, Marc Ellington, American/adopted English & Scottish performer from the 60s and 70s, died on 17 February 2021... Not that familiar with his work myself, but a close friend and associate of Richard Thompson, Iain Matthews, Sandy Denny and other in the extended Fairport family. Some more info here:

Sad news, I remember when he rolled up in Hull during the 1960's and performed for the students at the university during a sit-in that we were engaged in then.RIP Marc.

I remember him from the 60's London folk scene.
He has led a full life since.
