[kj] Raven's dad?

Don't consider myself a folk fan, although Richard Thompson is my second favourite guitarist (after Keith Richards). He may look like a typical bearded folkie, but the guitar solos on 'Shoot Out the Lights' are a million miles away from cardigans and fingers in the ear...

     From the Black Country myself,
 and was curious to see any clear images of the folk group
 'The Black Country Three' from left-right, Jon Raven
 (his Father), Michael Raven (Uncle) and Derek Croft.  [here]
   Sadly, Michael died in April 2008, aged 70 and his
 Father Jon aged 75 in August last year (2015) after a long
 battle (1996) with Parkinson's disease.
   Further to this there is an obituary page [here]
 which also includes a montage picture with (most likely)
 young pictures of Jon with his son Paul. [here]

      I've lived in Wolverhampton most of my life and
 I'd never heard of this. Given I can't stand folk
 music that's no surprise really. By the way, the title
 should be spelled Coalbrookdale, which is very close to
 Ironbridge and was the birthplace of the Industrial
 Revolution
