The National Treasure known as Roy Bailey left the stage peacefully yesterday. Over the last few years it has been my very great privilege and pleasure to accompany Roy at Wickham festival several times and at Towersey festival back in 2015 an event which was recorded live (secretly) and issued as a live album.
I shall miss him...
Cheers,
Ian

I only saw him once about 10 or 11 years ago. He was superb.

Very sad news. A national treasure indeed.

For anyone like me who is not familiar with Roy Bailey, the Guardian Roy Bailey obituary is certainly worth a read. He was clearly a very talented and giving man who will be sorely missed. I'm listening to his music as I write this, so thanks for introducing me to him.

He'll be missed alright. I saw him perform only once, as part of the Three City Four with Leon Rosselson (and others) at my local folk club in 1967 or 68 or so. Great singer and interpreter of songs. RIP.

Only just read this Ian, sad but not unexpected news. He will be missed in a very big way.
