Jill Swarbrick-Banks and Dr. Jason Wilson are very excited to announce:
SWARB! It Suits Him Well - The Official UK Tribute Tour 2018 celebrating the music of England’s finest folk fiddler Dave Swarbrick.
Starring the sensational Jason Wilson Band (Toronto, Canada), Martin Carthy, John Kirkpatrick & Simon Swarbrick. (plus very special surprise guests at various ports of call)
Swarb didn’t want a funeral and his wishes were honoured, but… he didn’t say anything about a great big wake! So here it is, played by his dearest pals and uniquely his fiddling maestro, protégé nephew.
This is an opportunity for all his friends and fans at last to raise a glass and party in his memory. We will be covering his whole extensive and matchless career; the music will take you through the decades remembering the fun and the brilliance that was Swarb.
Bring a tissue...

Does anyone know the whereabouts or (preferably) have a contact email for Kev Boyd, photographer and author of the 'Come Sing It Plain' Martin Carthy fan blog please. https://carthyonline.wordpress.com/The Swarb Tribute Tour people would very much like to get in touch with him, and he is quite elusive! Thank you |

Is it the same person as Kev Boyd the photographer, because he's on Facebook and fairly easy to find.
