He ran Burnley Folk Club for a number of years, plus his ceilidh band "Millstone". More recently he organised a couple of monthly sessions, one purely instrumental one mixed, always well attended. |

He booked a lot of good people at Burnley Folk Club. Were you one of them? Let's raise a glass to him, and remember him here on Mudcat. Nick and Mally |

He was indeed a pleasant and intelligent man, a good organiser, singer and also a good guitarist. Barbara and I have happy memories of Burnley Folk Club which Alex organised with some enthusiasm and there was many an occasion he organised, both in Burnley and beyond, in which we enjoyed his company along with his cherished 'Guild guitar. |
