My friend John Foreman, who has died aged 93, was a folk singer and maker of broadsheets who played an important part in the UK folk revival of the 1950s and 60s.

As well as playing in bands and recording a collection of music-hall songs, The ’Ouses in Between (Reality, 1966), John, known as the Broadsheet King, printed and bound countless pamphlets, song sheets and books, including a songbook for most years of the Aldermaston marches (1959-63).
