He was a great singer with a lovely onstage personality. I hope Ormskirk will encourage him to take another hike around the folk clubs |

A writer of wonderful songs, who could play guitar and sing to a brilliant standard. If you ever see him advertised, do yourself a favour and go and see him |

Whilst he's not giving up the day job to go into full time gigging again, he may certainly drop into a club locally on a singers night sometime and do a couple of songs. He's lost none of the old magic that went into his performances. Cheers Mark |
