Dave just has to be the produt of intelligent design. He could not have evolved like the rest of us.

Brilliant! It nearly makes me forget what a great singer he could be.

I guess it's the mix of his ill health of recent years (emphysema, double lung transplant - from which he's recovering very nicely), and just getting older like the rest of us!

My violin mentor, only one question why does he only sit and play?, when I saw him with Fairport Convention in Philadelphia he was all over the stage, never stood still for a minute, he was the energy of the band

He can produce a mean fiddle.Once pronounced dead by the British Media Authorities!!

I love this man! Met him when I was about 16 or so and he bought me a beer and gave me a fag... that was during the interval. This was quite a few years ago when he was with the Ian Campbell Folk Group. He told me that the more beer he drank, the better he played. Unfortunately I had to leave soon after to catch the last bus home. Don't know whether he fancied me or not, but I certainly fancied him! So glad to know he's still going strong as I also heard the reports he was not well.

SWARBRICK...always free flowing & emotional. wow, what a history he has...his records are great & thanks for letting us see this !!!

Dave Swarbrick is the finest fiddle player in the Western world. He has come close to death and yet at the age of 66 is still playing with as much skill and feeling as he was 40 years ago. His latest band is called "Lazarus", inspired by the fact that in 1999 the Daily Telegraph in England actually published his obituary thinking he was dead! The last time I saw him, he was in wheelchair with oxygen tubes stuck up his nose. This is so wonderful to see him back with all his faculties.
