An odd thing to wake up to. UK Rocker, the headlines tell me. I'd heard of him as a footnote to a Richard Thompson album but even that was sufficiently obscure a connection that I'd forgotten it. I'm not convinced he was remotely famed for rocking.

As you say, not a rocker - but well known in folk circles.

A sad loss.

I still have the humblebums on tape and city to city would be another I would consider buying anew. He and billy connoly are two I can say I saw before they were famous.
