Hi Swarb,
I've noticed that you havn't given many interviews over the years, Has the press been a friend or foe to you? Also i remember reading an interview with you in Circus Magazine in 74 or 75. I think you had just gotten married and were living in New York? The Babacome Lee album was discussed in depth if memory serves me. Any idea where i could get a copy of this.
Thanks,
Pat

I have no idea where you would get a copy of that , when i have the time I will look through my clippings and see if i have it.dont care for interviews much, like them better now than i did though,some of the journo's are fine as oufriend michael huner for eg. some are not however and you end up chatting for hrs about nothing and then you get misquoted etc. but like i say I am a little more flexible now.

You sweet talker Mr Swarbrick.  That's lovely. Mind you - and let's take it off the board if you prefer - the chat we had last year hasn't officially come out as I didn't get a final OK after I sent the transcript. That's fine, but if you still have the transcript and want to edit or OK it as is, please do let me know! |

Hi Swarb,
Thanks for that. I remember it being a very interesting interview. Was my memory correct? Were you living in the US at that time? FC toured the US so much at that time, did you enjoy coming to America and what were some of your favorite places?
Thanks,
Pat

Hi Swarb,
I remember reading about the mugging somewhere. I think it was in Arizona while you were in the sauna. Did they ever catch the muggers? Also, ever spent any time in Maryland?

Talking of the states - do you remember much about the shows you did with Renaissance in the mid-1970's? I understand you guys sometimes took turns over who went on stage first or not. Was their any rivalery there between bands?

Hi Swarb,
27 tours. I had no idea. I know your toured with Simon over here. Where the rest with FC? You mentioned previously that you were last here in 96. With whom?
Thanks,
Pat
