Talk about The Seekers on another thread made me wonder what happened to their original producer and songwriter Tom Springfield, brother of Dusty. He is now 81 and has only made one public appearance since 1969, which was at Dusty's funeral.

 

Appearing alongside Dusty and Tom in The Springfields was old Etonian, Tim Feild. He is also aged 81 and now lives in Colorado. Now known as Reshad Feild he is a respected author on subjects such Islam, Sufism and spiritualism.

 

As for their health, no idea, but I just thought I'd put their names out there.

A couple of ailing Scottish folkies:

1. Rab Noakes, who founded Stealers Wheel with Gerry Rafferty, says he's recovering from throat cancer
2. Andy M. Stewart, singer, songwriter and former frontman with Silly Wizard, "paralysed from the chest down, with other medical complications"

Noakes sounds really positive. Andy M Stewart's DDP obit chances - as and when, obviously - don't strike me as massively high.

Awaiting news story/obit to confirm.

Very slow news week - give or take the odd bit of flooding - this'll be just about his best chance of an obit; let's see

Andy M Stewart gets a Herald Obituary, which would have been fine for this year. http://www.heraldscotland.com/arts_ents/14170174.Tributes_paid_to_Silly_Wizard_folk_legend_Andy_M_Stewart/%7D/

Sing along at Dartford Folk Club this week in memory of Pam Colls (something of a legend as the person who ran the place and was award winning/respected amongst the handful of people who understand the problems and joys of running a folk club).

Police blotters now? Short of a lengthy sentence to an old man (see Nuon Chea) why would simple arrests be of interest to DL?

Now, the English Don McLean (who appeared in the BBC kids TV show Crackerjack in the 1970s) is merely months older than 'American Pie' Don McLean and is still hanging on in there, despite being 71. https://youtu.be/Gkx41xAyZE0

It was only a couple of weeks ago he found out he was ill. R.I.P anyway

[Sir Creep 7,070]

Pete Zorn, a different person to Pete Yorn, dead at 65,

So he was a musician w Richard Thompson, which pulls this into Fairport Convention discussions we've had in a couple threads. Look for another FC hit this year. It's symbiotic.

I wouldn't be too surprised if the Swarb were to go this year.

When I see a post by Young Willz on the index I know there's a new death. He's the best at reporting death, really a phenomenon.

I'm really going to have to stop doing this about people I like.
