[edit] Birmingham College of Art?

Is it verified that he went to art college? I always understood that he left school at 15 and was apprenticed as a printer. Bluewave 10:10, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Obituary

I am assured that he gave out signed copies of the infamous obituary, but I haven't found a citable source for this yet. If anyone can manage this, I would be obliged. TIA HAND —Phil | Talk 08:56, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Swarb1.png

Image:Swarb1.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Discography: Martin Carthy releases etc

I've added Swarbrick's albums with Martin Carthy to the discography. I'm not sure why they've never appeared until now but they're clearly deserve to be here. I haven't distinguished between those albums credited to Carthy solo and those credited as being either "with" or "and" Swarbrick. I don't think this is necessary unless the particular albums are discussed in detail in the article.

And on a related note, I've moved the Rags, Reels and Airs album to the Solo section as it's credited to "Dave Swarbrick with Martin Carthy & Diz Disley'" and I think it's largely considered a Swarb solo project, rather than a "collaboration".

Anyone have any major objections to these edits? Kevin Boyd (talk) 17:56, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

I also just noticed that there's no mention of Whippersnapper in the discog - so I added a section. And I moved the English Fiddler album to the "solo" section as this is not a compilation. All (or most) of the tracks have appeared elsewhere previously but these are all newly re-recorded versions so I think it deserves more than just "compilation" status. Thoughts anyone?Kevin Boyd (talk) 18:19, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fairport discography

Braka (talk) 17:50, 8 April 2008 (UTC) Swarbrick is presently listed as debuting with Faiport Convention on 'Liege and Lief'. In fact he played on their previous album 'Unhalfbricking'. He is usually regarded as a 'guest musician' on that album, though he was clearly intergral to the band's transition towards folk-rock.
