The Scot knew Bill well having got to know him when he was living and performing on the London folk scene back in the day. I remember seeing him at the Hope & Anchor in Islington.

He was a local lad, originally from the Wolverhampton area and retired to Jackfield, a village just up the road from us here in Wellington.

I remember him most from his work with that innovative outfit, Home Service.

He will be sadly missed.
