American folk fiddler Sue Draheim has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. She has appeared on albums by British folk luminaries Fairport Convention, Pentangle, The Albion Band, John Martyn and Richard Thompson.
Dead. I'll be interested to see if Sue Draheim gets a UK obit, because she'd have been number one in my DD...
