The Myth of Throat Surgery – A
Message from Jill
Despite a local newspaper report and rumours to the
contrary, Swarb is NOT in hospital undergoing throat
surgery. What he does have is an appointment with an ear, nose and throat
specialist as part of his on-going post-operative care. At the moment he is
playing some gigs in
Swarb's Biography
At long last, Swarb has decided to commission
his long awaited Biography. He has given the substantial, but very exciting
task, to his partner and confidante Jill Swarbrick-Banks.
Jill has already written the near complete history of her decade so
far with Swarb, which records first
hand his Daily Telegraph obituary episode, emphysemic
years and bi-lateral lung transplant, their life together
and the very many anecdotes of course. And so, it was Swarb's
natural inclination to ask Jill to write his life story, warts and all!
Jill obviously has a massive task ahead of her, accumulating information
of every type concerning Swarb. So a request!
If anyone has any information, memories, anecdotes, photographs, films,
rare facts...scandals, nice stuff, in fact anything at all on Dave Swarbrick, Jill would be immensely grateful to receive it!
Please don't forget to add your name, a contact address and / or telephone
number, possible date of event, text or photograph...and any background
info. to back it up please. Everything will be totally confidential. Jill
& Swarb would be extremely grateful! Please make
contact here in the first instance.
