Joe Scurfield RIP
Sadly Joe Scurfield, fiddler with the Old Rope String Band, has been killed in a car crash. A very funny man and an extremely talented musician. A great loss.
May the joy of music be ever thine.
(BTW, my name is John)

Very sad news indeed. I saw them in action a few year back and was amazed at their versatility and showmanship.Joe was the centrepiece of the band and was a first class entertainer.
May he rest in peace.
Slan,

And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

Two musicians were killed in a 'hit and run' incident-as well as Joe,the gifted Saxophonist/composer/educator Keith Morris was the other victim.
I met,and played with Keith in 1979,and found him to be a delightful character.
Music in the North East of England has suffered a double senseless loss this week.
A 17 year old man and a 21 year old woman are being questioned by Police.
