Have seen this on Fairports site:
Swarb Obituary on BBC Radio 4.
The BBC Radio Four series 'Last Word' will feature an obituary for former Fairport fiddler Dave Swarbrick who died on Friday 3 June.
Simon Nicol will speak on the programme which goes out at 16.00 on Friday 10 June (repeated at 20.30 on Sunday 12 June) on 92.5 - 96 FM, DAB and online.

I found this on BBC Radio Leeds: Martin Carthy on Swarb and a live recording of them playing 'Carthy's March', which Swarb claims to have written in his sleep.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03wffsw#play |

Looking through old pictures and found these two of Swarb onstage in 2006 with Kevin Dempsey and Maart.

I heard about Swarb's death from Fairport themselves, at a gig in Kemsing Village Hall, Kent on Friday. Very sad loss, but of course Fairport still played a fine gig.
Recently I went to the Bristol Folk Festival - always worth a visit - and stayed at a B&B near Clifton Bridge. The owners were telling us about the many folk musicians who'd stayed at their place in recent years, including the Carthy clan, John Renbourne, Steve Knightly and many more, but their favourite guest was Swarb. They had to re- allocate rooms to get him downstairs accommodation, but he repaid them (and other guests) with first class entertainment over the breakfast table, a man of a thousand stories amusing all and sundry.
RIP

It's the same programme but they often change the "line-up" at the last minute if someone famous dies towards the end of the week.

Those of us who are members of the Fairporters fb group may well have seen Issy Swarbrick's post that there will be a memorial "ceremony" outside the Brasenose at 1630 on Sat 13 August. No idea what form this may take... but a bench with plaque has been mentioned.
Mods - I hope it's ok to post this here, apologies if not and feel free to remove if you see fit.
