Very recently on Swarb's Facebook:

"Hello Jill here

Dave is unwell in hospital at the moment.
He most probably has a chest infection but it is quite serious.
He is receiving very good care and his condition is stable as I write.
I will try to keep you all posted as best I can.
Send the love folks
Thank you"

I said exactly the same!  Hope his borrowed lungs are back in fine fettle real soon.

No one's mentioned an address yet, but I can imagine an avalanche of cards coming through if they do!

Update from Swarb's fb page this morning:

Hello Jill here
 Update on Dave
 He is stable at the moment. Awake and communicating with us.
 He is receiving second to none care and I am very reassured by the outstanding staff looking after him.
 As you can imagine, it is a very concerning time for the family, so please refer to this Facebook page or Dave's website for news and not contact family members for addresses or phone numbers etc. Thanks folks. Keep sending healing love

I'm in Ohio sending positive energy across the pond for you, Swarb!  The fiddle tunes book that you and Maartin Allcock worked tirelessly to bring into the world has given me much joy as I learn some of these chord structures on electric bass guitar.  I quite like Boadicea -- a fun piece of music that I understand you named after your nickname for Sandy Denny (one of the finest songwriters who ever walked the planet).  Get well soon, Swarb -- your fiddle's waiting for you.

Did he have a lung transplant?

I Wish him all the best.
