In the first of our occasional In the Footsteps series of interviews Sam Sweeney (Bellowhead, Kerfuffle) interviews his hero Dave Swarbrick.
Dave Swarbrick is one of the founding fathers of folk fiddle and has played with Fairport Convention, Martin Carthy and countless others.
In part one of our interview, he talks about why he got started playing folk music, dealing with criticism, his love of Australia and the tune inspired by it My Heart's In New South Wales. - Hudba
Dave Swarbrick was arguably one of the greatest musicians that has ever lived..... the world is a colder and somewhat quieter place without him.... R.I.P Swarb xx
Dave Swarbrick and the rest of Fairport Convention have been a light house for me since my college years '66-'70. I saw them play in Philadelphia and have listened to their folk rock psychedelic synthesis as an inspiration to playing. "Dirty Linen", "Eastern Rain", "All Be Thankful" and "Sir Patrick Spence" come to mind, along with, "Who Knows..." Thanks for posting.
Swarb didnt just talk about it or bollocks about it all - he just went out and DID IT !
He put the ball in the back of the net whilst others dithered.
The greatest fiddle player of his time bar none.
Beautiful. What a nice chap Sam is -so respectful to a master of his trade.
I had a wonderful hour talking with Swarb in the back room of his house in Coventry before he moved to Wales. He was keeping warm in front of a coal fire whilst dressed in a long white nightgown. I had a chat with Sam recently and he told a great story about meeting him in the same house whilst Swarb was dressed in the same nightgown! So funny...
Absolutely Brilliant, what a great young man, thank you
Dave Swarbrick's fiddle playing has been one of the foundations for how I approach the guitar!!!
I play Rock,Blues-Jazz/Fusion & I find I get the best results by listening to music played by other instruments!!!
Dave Swarbrick was a true original & I can't understand why his life & music aren't studied as a university campus!!!?
Such a terrible loss to the folk world..sadly sadly missed...RIP SWARB !
Swarb also one of the best accompanists in music - as shown at the end of the video.
Love the bit at the start where Sam is blown away with Swarbs playing.
I agree with PDS John. The most uplifting fiddler I've ever heard!
A wonderful interview and terrific music. Just beautiful. Thanks brightyoungfolk!
So glad I found this. Thankyou.
So wonderful.
Dave Swarbrick AND Sam Sweeney!? Life=Made
Very intresting enjoyed watching.
swarbrick is not just a GREAT fiddle player, but very insightful about critics. they are crap and they aren't necessary. when they're 'effective' they are just bullies.
Happy and sad to see SWARB on this clip.
An utterly irreplaceable gentleman.
Amazing how he came back after double lung transplant. Never smoke kids!
I remember swarb taking his trousers off at the July wakes festival cos some one jumped into a pool!!!!
He said "she said guitarists are ten-a-penny, Ducky" Cheap & plentiful.
Does anyone know what he means when he said that (unknown name) told him that guitar is for tenor penny tucky? Sorry if i messed up the quote. Just interested in understanding the mind of this master. :)
Was he said was " ten a penny".. That is an old phrase kinda means the same as a dime a dozen.. In other words too many guitar players and not enough fiddle players!
And the person who said it was Beryl Marriott, you can look up her obituary in the Guardian. I still have a copy of Roger and Beryl Marriott's "Tunes for the Band", a tunebook of English dance music.
OMG 12yo Sam! lol
