Title: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Ces on October 10, 2004, 11:46:17 PM Hi all. Been asked to pass this on
"Dave & Jill understand that people are anxious to know Swarb is OK but are concerned that continual discussion may be unhelpful in creating expectations or worries. They have asked that if people want news about Swarb's progress could they please access his website at www.folkicons.co.uk/swarbnew.htm Where news is being posted regularly. If the site doesn't change, it means there is no further news. They are anxious to stop the spread of speculation and rumours, especially as the recovery process is likely to be a long one. Whilst appreciating the thought, they also think that the talk of presents and gifts is a little premature, but welcome e-mails of support via the website, and ask everyone to be patient' OK - so let's chill? :D Keep Swarb in your thoughts but give him and Jill a bit of a space...God! I'm a hippy! :-[ ;D ;D...Seriously though - let's not harp on about things here...but please send e-mails to the Swarbster...I do know that's something he REALLY appreciates :D Carey Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Simon Nicol on October 11, 2004, 12:24:52 AM Thanks Ces: Jill is shatteringly tired by what's been going on (while being hugely relieved by the massive progress, of course). She really needs to get her sleep and while she appreciates she is the main locus of communication, it can't be easy answering the phone twenty times a day to make the same speech to every concerned individual. (T'was a bit like me and the other chaps for three days at Crops...) As it happens, right now there appear to be some post-op probs, but this is not unexpected, so PLEASE, everyone, keep your heads down, and do what is suggested just to watch his website and send him your good wishes and yes, prayers. She knows how much we all care for him already: I think HE does too!

“Hello folks. Sorry we haven’t posted any news for a few days but progress has been a little slow. Dave ran into a small post-operative problem that meant he had to have some minor surgery to clear an obstruction from one of his lungs. The op. went well and, once again, everyone is pleased with the way things are shaping up. The messages that people have been sending have been keeping our spirits up and, as you can imagine, we’re on a bit of a roller-coaster at the moment. Many thanks to everyone for their concern and keep sending the messages. Onwards and upwards! Lots of love, Jill” Alex@Atrax Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Ces on October 20, 2004, 07:55:55 PM Hi all. I think Jill's a bit worried that "Cutting and pasting' updates from the Swarb board onto other sites, means that less people visit there and MOST importantly, by not doing so, people might not take the opportunity to send messages of support to Dave (which she says are like medicine to him).
So can I urge anyone/everyone to regularly visit the Swarb site and if you have the time/inclination send the old fella an e-mail to cheer him up? Cheers, Carey Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: folkicons on November 03, 2004, 06:16:57 PM Hi everyone, does anyone have the actual Email address for messages to swarb , when i hit the send a message button on the folk icons site it brings up my email ready to send a message but without a full address thanks and regards Paul Just to let you know that the click through on the Folkicons Swarb site is the direct channel for messages to Dave & Jill. We're in constant contact with Jill and as the messages arrive she gets them. We've processed hundreds of them in the last couple of weeks and as far as we are aware there are no problems with the link. Jill would like to thank all those from the Fairport List who have sent messages and jokes and she hopes to have a new bulletin up on the site in the next couple of days. Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: PaulT on November 19, 2004, 05:37:35 PM he certainly does look well!!
Incidentally, we were talking about Swarb yesterday, and we worked out that 4 generations of my family have seen him playing live ---- in person. My grandmother saw him at a folk club in Birmingham (Solihull, I think) in the 60s - we think with either Martin Carthy or the Ian Campbell Group. My mother saw him with FC in the mid 70s. I've seen him numerous times with Fairport & with Whippersnapper. And my 2 sons saw him at Croppers a few years ago. and he's still only 63! but much younger at heart..... Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Sandra on November 28, 2004, 10:18:17 PM Message from Ces today (accidentally deleted whilst housekeeping - sorry).
Site updated today: with a video clip ...Check it out! Ces Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Andy on December 03, 2004, 12:29:39 AM An article about Swarbs recovery can be found here (http://iccoventry.icnetwork.co.uk/0100news/0100localnews/tm_objectid=14936899&method=full&siteid=50003&headline=swarb-aims-to-be-home-for-Christmas-name_page.html) from a coventry newspaper.
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: folkicons on December 03, 2004, 06:33:04 PM Just a short note to let everyone know that Swarb got out of hospital today and is now at home. More details on his website.
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: koho (Koen) on December 08, 2004, 02:08:24 PM http://www.folkicons.co.uk/swarbnew.htm
Site's been updated again, with a message from Swarb himself. Plus piccies. He looks good! :laugh: Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: PaulT on December 08, 2004, 05:32:36 PM Swarb does look well. The pic of him at home reminds me of someone..... got it! Phill Jupitus (well, his smaller brother). :laugh:
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Ces on December 14, 2004, 10:35:09 PM Your Swarbrick Needs You! :)
Nothing to worry about but I think a few encouraging e-mails of support would be greatly appreciated. Go to the site...and, please, give him a "shout'! :D Carey Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Randlepmcmurphy on December 14, 2004, 10:52:10 PM Done and dusted Ces. Funny though i get all tongue tied and jabber on like a little kid when i talk to the Swarbster!!!.
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Ces on December 14, 2004, 11:15:27 PM Nice one Randers :D.
I think we all probably jabber when addressing Higher Life Forms!...I just keep saying to myself "Chill Hancock - he's just like you!....but a thousand times better!' :D Which doesn't help much. ;D But, whatever, let's just keep letting him know he's still being thought of! Carey Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Andy on December 14, 2004, 11:18:51 PM Message sent. Power to the Swarbricks!
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Delfini (Diane) on December 14, 2004, 11:50:01 PM ........ Funny though i get all tongue tied and jabber on like a little kid when i talk to the Swarbster!!!. Couldn't actually manage to string a sentence together when I met him.... Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: johanna/ulla on December 15, 2004, 12:52:43 PM Postcard is on it´s way.
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: gower flower (Shirl) on December 18, 2004, 04:28:32 PM For those of you old enough to remember Andy Capp cartoons.... My local library has a supply of leaflets produced by MacMillan Cancer Relief, encouraging people to get a health check, etc. etc. Any road, on the front is a cartoon of Flo being hotly and lustfully pursued by Andy Capp with the speech bubble which reads "Come on Flo, now the Doc's checked my lungs out, let's have a look at yours......" ;) ;D It loses something in the translation (i.e. no scanner to put the picture in). Still I thought I would send it to the Swarbs under the heading "I saw this, and I thought of you...." :o Gower flower Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: mikec on December 20, 2004, 09:35:11 AM Excellent thought Gower. I'm sure Swarb and Jill will love it.
MikeC Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Ces on December 24, 2004, 12:19:10 AM Site updated. Fingers crossed for a Crimbo at Swarb Towers. And will he be "goosed' courtesy of the lovely Judy Dyble? :o...Read it!
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: jude on December 24, 2004, 08:45:23 AM You don't muck about with any of Fanny's Recipes y'know.
Even though she's been gone quite a while now Jude ::) Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Ddpiranha on December 24, 2004, 08:56:57 AM In the latest Swarb update Jill mentioned Johnny and Fanny Craddock. I well remember them too. They must've been the first tv 'Celebrity Chefs.'
Anyway it reminded me of a story I heard which may be true, possibly apocryphal. So I sent it to Swarb and then thought perhaps I could share it with you. You must remember that this was 'live' telly in those days................... Fanny had been showing viewers how to make doughnuts and had brought out the finished articles on a baking tray and presented them to camera with her usual flourish. Cut to Johnny who says something like: "Don't they look wonderful. And for all of you at home, I hope your doughnuts turn out just like Fanny's!" Apparently you could hear the studio staff's laughter as the final credits rolled. Even the camera was shaking with laughter!! Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: PaulT on January 11, 2005, 01:36:14 PM anyone heard how dave is?
Alex? Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Alex Lyons on January 11, 2005, 01:59:21 PM anyone heard how dave is? Alex? Not sure Paul, I've not heard from the Swarbs since before Christmas but should do soon. There should also be a website update along anytime now I'd have thought. Alex@Atrax Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: PaulT on January 11, 2005, 02:59:11 PM Ta Alex. I'll keep checking their website.
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: PaulT on January 12, 2005, 10:01:25 AM Quote There should also be a website update along anytime now I'd have thought. Alex@Atrax Quote And indeed there is an update now... Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Tasha on January 13, 2005, 10:54:33 AM It must be so difficult for them both all these ups and downs! terrible strain! Its so nice to hear that our emails keep them both going though isn't it ;D
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Ces on January 13, 2005, 08:55:02 PM It must be so difficult for them both all these ups and downs! terrible strain! Its so nice to hear that our emails keep them both going though isn't it ;D Absolutely Tasha! It must be so depressing/irritating to be stuck in hospital again - even though it's "par for the course'. You must get a bit despondent...and if you haven't gigged for a while maybe even feel a bit forgotten..... Don't let this happen people! Your Swarbrick Needs YOU (as Lord Kitchener would almost certainly say if he was alive...and a folk fan...and allowed out wearing such a ridiculous moustache)! So take a a few minutes out and send a message to the old fella. You don't have to have a degree in "Fairportism'...I'm sure he'd be just as keen to hear from those new to the Swarbricking world. If e-mails are medicine then get dispensing! Go on...let him know how much means to us 8) Cheers, Carey Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Delfini (Diane) on January 20, 2005, 11:25:33 PM Update on website today.....................sounds like it's really hard going..........keep sending the e-mail medicine!
delfini Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: folkicons on January 21, 2005, 08:22:36 AM Jill Swarbrick sends this message to all at Talkawhile.
"As many of you who have seen the most recent bulletin know, Dave is still in hospital awaiting a possible operation to resolve problems created by previous tracheotomies. He has asked me to thank everyone at Talkawhile who has sent a message or contributed to the sterling efforts by Ces on behalf of Swarbaid. (A special thanks to Nuthouse - enjoy the evening!) We hope that you'll all raise a glass to Dave's recovery and keep in touch via the website. A HUGE thank you from me as well - you have no idea how everyone's good wishes have sustained us. Lots of love, Jill x" Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Andy on January 21, 2005, 08:51:02 AM fingers crossed - sounds like a rough time.
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Jim on January 21, 2005, 12:22:31 PM nobody said it was going to be a breeze and a few setbacks are only to be expected,i suppose,when you think how ill Dave was and how long he'd been in that state
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Ces on January 21, 2005, 08:05:28 PM C'mon folks - you heard Mrs Swarb: get tapping those keys and keeping the Fiddle King's morale up :o
Eight o clock on a Friday night - would YOU like to be in hospital...again? Me neither. Go on. Don't be shy. Just say howdy...and "Go on Swarby!' It'll mean a lot to him....so do it....please :D Carey Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Mix (Mic) on January 22, 2005, 02:01:53 PM I just sent another message to Dave and Jill, I'm afraid my messages must be a bit dull for them. I can never come up with anything that I've done that might be amusing to Dave and Jill.
Oh well, I tried. The important thing, I guess is that they can see how many people are really rooting for them. Mic. Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Andy on January 22, 2005, 02:05:02 PM Mic
I tend to send them bad jokes. A little anecdote or two about your love of music probably would go down well. Even some recommendations! Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Mix (Mic) on January 22, 2005, 02:09:56 PM Mic Cheers Andy, I'll remember that for the next message, I know I can be amusing....but it would require a full length mirror and a camera for someone else to see the joke ^-^ Now there's a thought...that would exercise the Swarbrick laughter muscle and no mistake ;DI tend to send them bad jokes. A little anecdote or two about your love of music probably would go down well. Even some recommendations! Mic Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: mikemush on January 22, 2005, 03:27:06 PM Sent one a couple of days ago,hope it raised a grin :)
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: PaulT on February 03, 2005, 08:56:38 AM Update from Jill on Swarb's website now... looks like better news ;D
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: mikec on February 03, 2005, 12:00:26 PM Update from Jill on Swarb's website now... looks like better news ;D Mic, you didn't *really* send him the photo did you ;D ;D There again, maybe thats why he's felling better :o MikeC Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Mix (Mic) on February 04, 2005, 01:49:41 AM No Mike I didn't ;D I think a shock like that would be guaranteed to send the mighty Swarbster into nightmare land :o I think he has enough to cope with just now ;D

Looking good! ;D ;D Gower flower Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: JJ (Joanna) on February 14, 2005, 03:44:41 PM O to hear Dave singing Hexamshire Lass loud and clear again - great news! ;D

Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: gower flower (Shirl) on February 21, 2005, 12:34:43 PM Brilliant news ;D ;D ;D Listening to the old geezer, as I write. 8) Gower Flower Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Delfini (Diane) on February 21, 2005, 07:07:02 PM At Cambridge last night, Simon seemed to suggest it wouldn't be too long before he was playing again. :-\
It sounds as if that's a bit optimistic, given the last few months, but wouldn't it be great if he can at last have a decent quality of life with Jill etc and think about performing when he is well Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Andy on February 22, 2005, 01:00:08 AM Let's all be optimistic and hope the old bugger is at least on stage at Croppers for a cheer, even if he can't play at the point.
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: gower flower (Shirl) on February 22, 2005, 09:23:05 AM Absolutely Andy! Just seeing him on his feet and free of all those oxygen tubes would be flippin wonderful. ;D Gower Flower Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Delfini (Diane) on February 22, 2005, 07:57:28 PM Absolutely Andy! Just seeing him on his feet and free of all those oxygen tubes would be flippin wonderful. ;D Gower Flower That would probably get the biggest cheer.............. Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Andy on February 27, 2005, 11:53:29 AM There's a message from the man himself here (http://www.folkicons.co.uk/swarbnew.htm) - sounds hopeful!
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Nuthouse on February 27, 2005, 12:01:59 PM Good news indeed..
Just a thought.. with regards to Quote I've an album part way through with Martin Carthy. We started it in September, but then I was called for my transplant and haven't done or heard much of it since. ... if JK Rowling can have advance copied of the new harry Potter book, why not ordering advance copies of the forthcoming Swarb/Carthy collaboration ? I would be more that happy to pay for an advance copy for whenever it comes out.. you know it would be worth waiting for... also might help Dave & Jill. Perhaps someone closer to DS can consider and advise ? Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Andy on February 27, 2005, 12:22:17 PM I'm not close to Swarb, but I'd advise against it. For one thing he may already have had an advance from the record company! ...and presumably it'd be the record company selling a non-existent disc, which would be just a tad dodgy.
The main differnce here is that Rowling has already wriiten her book and the publishers already have it. Swarb may be better than he was, but there are no guarantees and the album may get finished, or not. I think we'll just have to be patient. Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: tarda (Gill) on February 27, 2005, 12:24:13 PM I don't think we should put him under pressure - let him concentrate on mending.
wouldn't hurt to buy a few existing albums as presents ;) Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: PaulT on March 09, 2005, 11:26:36 AM I don't think we should put him under pressure - let him concentrate on mending. wouldn't hurt to buy a few existing albums as presents ;) Swarb's site updated... good news again :) :) :) Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Nuthouse on March 13, 2005, 08:52:06 AM There will be many postings about last night and Dave Swarbrick's appearance at the Birmingham gig. What a night ;D
Anyway... SoN and I were privileged to be able to meet Dave and Jill and what I would most like to pass onto you all is how much it has meant to them both to receive the messages of support from all fans and well-wishers. We all know of the ups & downs that Dave has been through, and obviously, Jill is on that road too so it has been tough for them both but the flow of good will and support has helped and should not be underestimated. I hope this does not sound pompous or preachy as it surely is not meant that way.... I just wanted to make sue that Jill's thanks to everyone are properly passed on... and I would add........ don't stop now :D. Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Delfini (Diane) on March 13, 2005, 12:29:21 PM Hi Nuthouse
not a bit pompous or preachy.............................we all value him - and Jill - so it's good to know we can help a bit. And wasn't it just fantastic to see him?? Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: gower flower (Shirl) on March 13, 2005, 07:54:04 PM Cheers Nuthouse It was fabulous to see Swarb and Jill. I felt priveleged to be there O0 ! I am sure the flow of support from this board, and others worldwide, will continue for as long as it takes. Gower flower ;D Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Ces on March 14, 2005, 09:56:00 AM Swarb site updated. ;D
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Ces on April 09, 2005, 08:42:21 PM Swarb site updated once more :D
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Mix (Mic) on April 10, 2005, 11:45:09 AM Great to see that he has progressed enough for the clinic to allow 3 weeks til the next check-up ;D
Just amazing progress, considering that it really isn't all that long ago that he had the op. Full praise to Swarb and Jill's fighting spirit ;D and the skill of the medical people of course. Wonderful news, Mic :) Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: PaulT on April 21, 2005, 01:06:20 PM ;D ;D ;D
Pix & video clip of Swarb's birthday party on his site. FANTASTIC!!!! ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: gower flower (Shirl) on April 21, 2005, 01:12:01 PM What a treat to be able to see Swarb's birthday celebrations! ;D ;D ;D Gower flower 8) Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: peluche (Chris) on April 21, 2005, 01:12:43 PM Pix & video clip of Swarb's birthday party on his site.

I loved Simon's comment.. "If you've done that 6 months ago you'd have burnt the house down!!" Well done Swarb and Jill!!! Amy :) Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: mikemush on April 21, 2005, 01:31:41 PM Blimey! Can we take it he'll be taking up the trumpet now? :)
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: MAJ on April 21, 2005, 01:34:54 PM Nice one! Nice to see Jude there too. So Jude, you can tell us - IS he going to take up the trumpet? ::) ;)

Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: jude on April 21, 2005, 09:04:59 PM Nice one! Nice to see Jude there too. So Jude, you can tell us - IS he going to take up the trumpet? ::) ;) Well I dunno about that, but I was only able to watch it in 5 second bursts on the video with long waits in between. Looked like swarb could hold his breath for hours . Actually it looked really strange. especially as I have no sound on here at the mo........ It was a lovely evening though and well worth the surprise Jude Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Jim on April 21, 2005, 09:13:02 PM its great to see Swarb's doing so well,isnt it
youll have to get broadband jude Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: jude on April 21, 2005, 09:50:22 PM its great to see Swarb's doing so well,isnt it youll have to get broadband jude I know - it's getting cheaper....... Jude Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: mikec on April 21, 2005, 10:16:21 PM That was wonderful being able to share in Swarbs birthday celebrations. Thanks to Maart for that.
MikeC Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Tasha on April 21, 2005, 10:30:14 PM fanbloodytastic ;D ;D Wow what a pair of lungs! Thanks Maart for letting us share in that moment!
I've had a **** day but that has cheered me up no end! ;D ;D Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Mix (Mic) on April 21, 2005, 10:32:43 PM All I got when I clicked the video link was a page of gobbledygook writing (could have been Russian ;))
But, it's still great to know that he could blow out his candles, and the photos alone were well worth seeing :) Mic Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: mikec on April 21, 2005, 10:49:54 PM Worked fine for me Mix when I clicked on it about 40 minutes ago. It should download a file called swarbparty.wmv.
Have you tried it again? BTW the file is just over 1MB in size so it takes a minute or two over a dial up line. cheers MikeC Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Neil Morrell on May 12, 2005, 02:37:21 AM Fine for me too! Must admit, it brings a tear to my eye!
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: fstix (Michael) on May 21, 2005, 04:55:17 PM Swarby looking healthy and happy. Couldn't ask for much more! :D
It's a Windows Media file so you need Windows Media Player to see it; my Mac version plays it fine. Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: mikec on May 21, 2005, 10:30:43 PM It is indeed a wmv file but there are other players available if you want to avoid using that particular player.
I use VideoLan Client for example on my Mac and its fine. Plays most formats as well. (and its not a Windows app ;)) But whatever you use isnt it great to see Swarb blow out his candles :) MikeC Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: PaulT on May 31, 2005, 02:20:53 PM Update from Jill on Swarb's site. :)
You'll have to visit to find out how he's getting on, but nice words from Jill and Swarb about Carey/Ces. Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Barry on May 31, 2005, 02:27:19 PM Complete stars, the pair of them.
Come on, everyone, lets make sure that we keep up Carey's good work in this area ;D Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: jude on May 31, 2005, 03:37:02 PM Should we move the link down here a bit? It's getting a bit lost way back at the beginning

Each time a cheer went up from the crowd. Never had the pleasure but seems to be a very poplar fellow. Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: PaulT on July 06, 2005, 04:18:00 PM This thread has gone rather quiet; so...
anyone know how Swarb & Jill are? Alex @ Atrax maybe? PaulT Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Alex Lyons on July 06, 2005, 04:27:23 PM I haven't heard from the Swarbs in a few weeks either, Paul. I think it's "no news is good news" though - Swarb's just recuperating quietly so there probably isn't much to say.
Alex Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: PaulT on July 07, 2005, 12:17:50 PM Cheers Alex. No doubt when you do hear from them, you'll pass on the collective best wishes of the good people of this virtual community...

Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Mix (Mic) on July 07, 2005, 09:09:45 PM Thanks for the alert Dianne.
Good to see that Swarb is progressing well still. Sorry to see he is having problems with osteoporosis in his back though, hopefully they will be able to sort that pain out very soon, seems a shame that Swarb can only stare longingly at his freshly tuned piano ;) I have a feeling he won't be staring for long though, because he's a tenacious little b*gger (and thank goodness he is!!) ;D Good to see continuing good news Mic Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: JJ (Joanna) on July 07, 2005, 09:14:21 PM new message on website.......................... No offence meant Diane at all but I wish this was Ces telling us this :'( :'( :'( Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Delfini (Diane) on July 08, 2005, 08:10:24 PM new message on website.......................... No offence meant Diane at all but I wish this was Ces telling us this :'( :'( :'( none taken. I was thinking of him as I posted and wishing the same thing - I miss his contributions Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: PaulT on July 19, 2005, 10:40:29 AM UPDATE ALERT!!!
Are you a plumber or do you know one? If so, have a look a Swarb's site... (I hope I've done this OK, Ces...) Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Big Dave on July 19, 2005, 10:52:05 AM Sounds like a bit of a "fiddle" to me! ;D [;-)
Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: YaBB Master (Colin) on July 19, 2005, 01:07:06 PM It's about time that the link (http://www.folkicons.co.uk/swarbnew.htm) was posted again.
Just thinking. There's a lot of fiddle playing in country music and that is known for attracting cowboys. :-\ Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Mix (Mic) on July 19, 2005, 01:09:48 PM Makes me wish I was a plumber :D
Mic Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: tarda (Gill) on July 19, 2005, 01:14:56 PM Makes me wish I was a plumber :D Mic Me too. I can change a washer and fix a ball valve, but I think he needs a bit more than that! Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: David W on July 19, 2005, 01:55:43 PM If the renovations are needed because of Swarb's illness perhaps they should have a chat with Swarb's occupational therapist to see if anything can be arranged. I know when my elderly gran needed a new bathroom after becoming registered disabled it wasall arranged that way.
Jackdaw Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on July 19, 2005, 04:49:25 PM I wonder where I could do a crash course in plumbing....and how long it would take...??????
AmyJen ;D Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: folkicons on July 19, 2005, 06:40:26 PM If the renovations are needed because of Swarb's illness ... Not particularly. They've just bought a new bath and washbasin that need careful, professional fitting. Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: mikec on July 19, 2005, 08:21:17 PM If the renovations are needed because of Swarb's illness ... Not particularly. They've just bought a new bath and washbasin that need careful, professional fitting. Well I could fulfil one of the criteria but I think Dave and Jill would prefer professional rather than careful ;) Hope they find someone soon.

Mic Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: gower flower (Shirl) on September 04, 2005, 04:16:36 PM Aw bless! I am certain he was as disappointed at not making it to Croppers as we were. Good to hear that he is continuing to make progress health-wise. Can't wait for his next gig!! ;D Gower Flower erm, can we have a fiddling smiley please, Nick? ;) Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: PaulT on September 06, 2005, 03:47:28 PM When I look at Swarb's site, I don't see the latest pic - just the one of the great man just before leaving hospital. I've tried the usual refresh tactics...
perhaps its just me :-[ Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: jude on September 06, 2005, 03:55:15 PM have you tried Ctrl + F5?
It is the one that usually works for me.......... Jude Title: Re: Message From The Swarbricks Post by: PaulT on September 06, 2005, 04:08:05 PM have you tried Ctrl + F5? It is the one that usually works for me.......... Jude and for me too, normally - but not this time...

As part of the message to Swarb Central gratitude was expresssed for Swarb's support for the Carey Convention/SftBH version of Rosie. I have been asked to ... "Give our love to all concerned" and wishes for a Merry Xmas! I know that glasses will be raised in cheer and cheers in reply.
