Subject: RE: Obit: Dave Brady - Swan Arcade (May 2006)
Dave had the most amazing voice ever. I recall being at the far end of South Hill Park during the Handsome Moldiwarp Festival in the 1980s when Swan Arcade came on, and Flirby was enraptured! Naturally enough, we both drew closer within a distance safe for listening!

Curiously enough, before I heard the news, I played their last CD 'Full Circle' last Sunday. This disappointed me when I first heard it since it appeared choc full of standards. Yes, but what a treatment they gave each of those songs.

Heaven (or the Angels Arms) is going to be a very noisy place with Brady and Dave Bryant up there!
