R.I.P Vin Garbutt

but a lovely chap by the name of Vin Garbutt has died today... he was a folk singer for decades..

A folk legend in the North East was Vin.

Well, I've heard of him (and heard him). Didn't know he'd died though.

Local Teeside hero gone

There's already a thread on Vin, Mel.

It was rather cryptic in it's original form, Mel.

Vin had a long career – you've added some good links – I particularly appreciate 'Fell off the back of a boat'.

I have this dvd of him, filmed and directed by mi mate Craig Hornby

I've been to watch the guy loads of times... just didn't think anyone else on here would know who he was if I'd put his name in the title ... I think the first time I saw him was at Beverley Folk Festival over 30 years ago and the last was in Doncaster last November..He didn't play the guitar so much as fight it
