Dave Swarbrick fiddles away....

'Scuse the intrusion again but this lad passed of emphysema and I wanted to make notice; he was a 'goodie' back in the day...

"...Born in London in 1941, Swarbrick played on recordings with folk pioneers Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger before coming to prominence as a guest on Fairport Convention's classic 1969 album Unhalfbricking.

He went on to become a permanent member of the band, writing and arranging songs for their albums - including on the influential electric folk album Liege & Lief - and performing with them up until they disbanded in 1979.

He also recorded his own solo albums, as well as working with the likes of Martin Carthy, Bert Jansch and fellow Fairport alumni Sandy Denny and Richard Thompson...."

He had a reasonably good innings I suppose but it's so sad to see someone go.
