John passed away in 2021 but his music lives on in our hearts. He is deeply missed as a friend and mentor. A mountain dulcimer virtuoso, John was passionately involved in the folk scene since the early days of the 1960s Folk Revival. Over the years his interests had broadened from the folk songs and music of the British isles to embrace a wide range of folk music worldwide, especially from eastern Europe.

Elijah Iles (known as 'Gramp') who was a key figure in his folk song collecting project. Alfred Williams first met Elijah in 1915 at his home at Inglesham, near Highworth. He is considered the primary supplier of the folk song lyrics Alfred collected in 1915/16 and was certainly made the biggest impression on him.
