That’s awful. I’m sorry to hear it, although I knew he had cancer. His sister just spent months and months in the hospital, too.
Sad news indeed. I’m sorry to hear that Mike has passed away. The Watersons have always made nice music. They used to come to the Lincoln folk club back in the day and sing. Other musicians too turned up to perform such as Anne Briggs, Muckram Wakes, Humblebums, Peggy Seeger, Ewan McColl, Martin Carthy, Barry & Robin Dransfield, Dave Swarbrick, Dominic Behan, Mike Cooper, Copper Family, Stefan Grossman, Hedy West, John Martyn.
