Sandy Roberton.
A name only slightly familiar to me, but apparently he produced many folk rock albums.

From Facebook:
"It is with great sadness that we have to announce that Charles Ward, Kingsley's brother and co-founder of Rockfield Studios, and founder of Monnow Valley Studios, died last night. Our thoughts are with his family Brigitte, Corrina and Charles.
Rockfield Studios began in the early 60s after Charles and Kingsley's band, The Charles Kingsley Creation, went to London where some of Charles's songs were recorded by Joe Meek.
RIP Charles"
There was a documentary about Rockfield Studios a few years ago, some of the top names in pop and rock music, and Liam Gallagher have recorded there. It has an incredible history.

I’d watch the documentary again but the graphics were annoying & it must have been directed by someone who usually made kids programmes. Not sure I can cope with it  |

He was THE seminal supporter of my music and my gratitude to him holds no bounds. A truly brilliant producer and innovator, he was, to us folk performer's, what George Martin was to the Beatles. Fame, I suspect was never on Sandy's personal agenda. His was not a spirit that sought the lime light. He chose instead to aim those prismatic beams on the artist's he took under his wing, and to this end acted as producer, Manager, Agent Publicist and crucially he undertook the difficult task of placing our recordings within the cynical realms of the recording companies, at a time when variety in the musical genres rarely strayed beyond the main stream. The sheer hard work and courage in this undertaking is nothing short of awe inspiring. I can still see him, a dashing figure (in both senses) briefcase in hand, Marcus his dog at his side, shooting off in his white car with that air of cautious optimism. He leaves a rich legacy of irreplaceable recordings, the potent aural aspic in which the hope and idealism of an entire generation has been preserved. It was a privilege to know him.

So very sad. Thankfully I got to see her on her solo Mona Lisas tour and the Seekers farewell at Wembley Arena. |

And, in a sad "hat-trick" of Aussie singers in the last week, indigenous singer and activist Archie Roach.
Three talented and dedicated people who not only entertained but worked for change and good. RIP all of them...
