A news item involving Dave Swarbrick was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the In the news section on 4 June 2016. |
Is it verified that he went to art college? I always understood that he left school at 15 and was apprenticed as a printer. Bluewave 10:10, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
I am assured that he gave out signed copies of the infamous obituary, but I haven't found a citable source for this yet. If anyone can manage this, I would be obliged. TIA HAND — Phil | Talk 08:56, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Swarb was doing a good trade selling signed copies of his obituary at the Cropredy Festival a couple of years after his "death" - I know because I have one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.6.1.151 ( talk) 21:08, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
I've added Swarbrick's albums with Martin Carthy to the discography. I'm not sure why they've never appeared until now but they're clearly deserve to be here. I haven't distinguished between those albums credited to Carthy solo and those credited as being either "with" or "and" Swarbrick. I don't think this is necessary unless the particular albums are discussed in detail in the article.
And on a related note, I've moved the Rags, Reels and Airs album to the "Solo section" as it's credited to "Dave Swarbrick with Martin Carthy & Diz Disley'" and I think it's largely considered a Swarb solo project, rather than a "collaboration".
Anyone have any major objections to these edits? Kevin Boyd ( talk) 17:56, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Braka ( talk) 17:50, 8 April 2008 (UTC) Swarbrick is presently listed as debuting with Fairport Convention on Liege and Lief. In fact he played on their previous album, Unhalfbricking. He is usually regarded as a 'guest musician' on that album, though he was clearly integral to the band's transition towards folk rock.
Whether some albums do ordon't belong in a Discography section for him, the point is, this is one of the most needy articles for a discography page! If you know someone with the experience to do this, or can yourself, it would be a great kindness to work on that issue. Thanks. -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 03:26, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
