RIP Dave Swarbrick

If you are into the folk scene you will know what a massive influence this bloke and his fiddle have been. He had been very poorly for ages but still made occasional appearances.

Will be sadly missed. :(

Farewell Farewell

Have been playing old albums today to find words to describe Dave Swarbrick's influence on music.

But listening to - rather than writing or reading about - a few tracks should explain it better. Here he plays alongside the late and incomparable Sandy Denny, lead guitarist Richard Thompson and others who, collectively, formed Fairport Convention.
