This is a great testament to him and also the great musicianship of RT. It's hard to imagine the likes of these guys happening again. I was lucky enough to see Swarb quite a number of times with Martin Carthy, Fairports and Whippersnapper. Going back and listening to his early work with Ian Campbell shows that like the young RT, in early Fairports days - these guys were just brilliant from the outset."
