'Bert' Lloyd occupied a unique position in the folksong revival of the 1950s and '60s. He was a musicologist with an international reputation, who wrote on the social history of British folk music and broadcast many series on traditional musics of the world. A learned and kindly mentor to younger singers, he was himself a performer of great charm, who united in his performances a scholar's respect for text and a singer's instinct for expression.
