I heard that he was in rude good health now, after his lung transplant. He sure is making that premature obituary look wrong I'm glad to say.

Oh wonderful news, i just posted about Dave playing "Once I Loved A Maiden Fair" on another thread and this popped up. Made my day to hear he will be playing again. :)

Yours,Aye. Dave

Saw Lazarus at North Boarhunt a couple of months ago - well worth the ticket price I would say. Can't come this time though as I'm doing a concert in Devon on Saturday. Have a Fab evening!!

I love the name for the band. Shows that Dave has a good sense of humour about some of the premature reports.

"Swarbs sense of humour was never in doubt."

Witness the copies of the obituary that he was distributing at a gig here in Guildford (when he was still in not very good health) after it had appeared in the nationals - unfortunately by the time I tried to get a copy on that visit they'd all been snapped up very swiftly!!

Sadly I'm going to miss his group's performance on Saturday as I've got a friend coming to stay who won't be able to go , and I have to do the social thing :-(

We treasure our signed copy of his Obit, framed in the bathroom!
