Sadly, our beloved Gent, Ted, succumbed to Covid 19 on 4th April 2020. Edward (Ted) Tudor Crum was a founder member of the band and appeared in all combinations ever since the mid-’70s. Missed by all, he cannot be replaced and his friendship will always be remembered most fondly. After all, we’ve been friends and fellow band members for over 40 years.
Ted was a well-known figure on the folk scene; a gifted singer with his own unique style, and an exceptionally fine musician. As well as being a Gent, he was a founder of jazz-folk ensemble, Steamchicken, which included his sons, Matt and Joe, and he was also in The Jam & Crumpet Band, with his wife Sue.
The folk scene will be missing a truly gifted and well-loved musician, singer and all-round Gent.
