I've just been looking at a couple of entries from the tunes section which I know from the playing of Dave Swarbrick, and I suddenly remembered reading somewhere that as a young player in the 1960s Dave Swarbrick met and played with Billy Pigg. As they are two of my musical heroes, I remembered being mind-boggled by the very idea. Trouble is, I can't recall where this information came from. It may come back if nobody else knows...
That surprises me, nigelg, because when I first saw Swarbrick as part of the Ian Campbell Group, Ian was having a hard time keeping Dave's jazzy outbursts in check.
