Title: Dave Swarbrick Fiddle Tunes book
Post by: Maart on December 11, 2015, 02:07:48 PM
The Dave Swarbrick Fiddle Tunes book is being printed as I write. I am now taking orders for it on my website. It should be here by next Tuesday, hopefully, then Swarb and I will be signing the first 100 copies and getting it off to the post.

Swarb and Maart - two of the finest men and servants of the thing called Fairport Convention.

Indeed - and the cover pic of Swarb is just great!

Not being a fiddler, I doubt I'd ever find much use for the book, but a (signed) copy is very tempting...

However, as there will be a fair few folky fiddlers frantically forswearing other financial fecklessness, I fink I should forgo forking out forty-five quid.

The first hundred copies have just arrived! Tomorrow Swarb and I will spend the day signing and numbering the first hundred orders in the order they came in. The jiffy bags arrived today too, so I'll be heading for the post office on Wednesday. Pete the Post will be happy to see me. I'd best warn him first...

I'll bet Swarb's chuffed to bits with those!

I got number 26!

Now I need to get to work replacing strings and learning to read music...
