Danny was one of the best known and best loved characters on the Scottish folk music scene. He was involved in virtually every good folk festival in Scotland; people chose their festivals just by his name. His popular Open Stages are legendary. He had a great sense of humour, he knew how to get on with people, and he always wore the ugliest ties and a bonnie bonnet. On Sunday, 5th July 1998, Danny Kyle passed away, leaving a gap in the Folk Music World that will be hard to fill. Hopefully a bit of his spirit will live on in the international folk music scene.
