  Thanks Paul
  Legend, for Swarbrick suits me. Irrascible also though. He put Maart and 
Kevin Dempsey through a particularly difficult standard twice at 
Chiddingley last Autumn, just to get it as he felt it

    Thanks for reminding me Gordon, I meant to post when I got back in 
last night but went straight to bed.

    Well, to start with it wasn't Gerard and Ian Kearey as billed, it was 
Gerard and Paul Bradley (the guy on LIT 2 - or was it 3...).  Gerard said 
something like "Ian Kearey's psychiatrist has advised him not to do any 
more gigs for the time being".  Go figure....

    Anyway, they played an interesting set.  It included an Auden poem 
that I believe was on the Siamese Boyfriends lp that Gerard and Ian did 
(that I don't have a copy of, though a mate has), a track called The 
Bagman Cries which will evidently be on the next Planes album, and 
Roundheads.  Interesting stuff.  Seemed to go down quite well, polite 
applause throughout and a bit more animated at the end.

    Swarb was amazing.  He looks a bit old a wizened now, but he can still 
fiddle like a man possessed.  His fretboard work on one pair of reels in 
particular was jaw-dropping, and a slow Scottish tune brought a tear to my 
eye.  He played solo throughout, didn't sing, but did regale us with a few 
choice anecdotes and a couple of terrible jokes.

    The man is a legend.  And for once I don't mean Gerard!

      So, did anyone Briz end go last night?

      Do tell.

      Would love to have made that bill, but......

      Swarb plays East Dulwich Tavern next week, but I doubt Gerard, or 
more especially, Ian Keary will be there. 

      Shame but .......
