Remembering Enoch Kent (1931-2926)

I was deeply saddened by the news that Enoch Kent passed away on April 
28 at age 94. Enoch was born in Scotland and was a significant presence 
on the UK folk scene before moving to Canada in the 1960s. I first met 
Enoch in the mid-1970s and learned a lot from him over the years - as 
did so many others.

Enoch began his career in folk music by singing traditional Scottish 
songs in a band called The Reivers. Her later collaborated with Ewan 
MacColl and Peggy Seeger in founding The Singers Club - also known as 
The Critics Group - in London before immigrating to Canada. The first 
time I met Peggy Seeger, I mentioned to her that I knew Enoch and she 
spoke fondly and admiringly about him.
It was only when Enoch was 70 years old that Enoch began to record 
albums for the first time since leaving the UK. But he was prolific over 
the next few years releasing with six excellent albums between 2002 and 
2010.
