beardyjim Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Not sure if anyone is a fan or knows of him but unfortunately he has passed away. Bit of a local legend on Radio Derby where he hosted a show for a couple of decades. I knew him fairly well as he was friends with a friend of mine and used to pop in to the pub I used to own. Did a tonne for charity and was an absolute stand up bloke. Anyway, in the absence of being able to go to a funeral I just wanted to post my sadness and respect to the man. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/Derby-news/tributes-derbyshire-folk-musician-presenter-4929903.amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I heard last week - sad news indeed. Shame the BBC decided to drop Folkwaves when they did - always enjoyed listening to Mick & Leicester Simpson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 He was a really lovely bloke - much-loved and sadly missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I didn't know him but my sister knew and worked with him for many years. She is really sad about his death as it means a lot of the live folk content up and around Chesterfield will stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
