Probably the best "Folk group" around for many years. Sad that Tony is no longer with them but I have seen them recently and they are still brilliant. Both myself and my wife have travelled the entire country to see them over the past 40+ years. Rest in Peace Tony, you are very much missed. Thanks Dtease for the pic.

There's now a bench in his memory in Westhoughton. It's in front of the small park at the bottom end of Market St. Across the top of the bench is inscribed " Sit Thi Deawn"... Requiescant in Pace Tony. Well known and loved in Westhoughton. I especially liked a biography he wrote some years ago of earlier times.
