It is unusual for 'A Swift One' to do birthdays. But this Thursday sees the 70th birthday of one of the stalwarts of the Huddersfield drinking and jazz scene, Denis Simpson reaches this milestone in his usual unassuming manner. He wanted no fuss or bother over the event. In fact he didn't really want anyone to know, so how could this momentous event be celebrated. It was obvious really. Mallinson's have brewed a beer to celebrate the event. So Denis, happy birthday from all your mates. Just hope you pass the day in way you deserve, in a nice quiet pub, with jazz in the background, the Telegraph crossword at hand, and a few ticks on the bar. You are one of the best.
