- From ABC TV programme Hullabaloo, 26th October, 1963. Features a 22-year-old Dave Swarbrick (1941-2016) on possibly his first TV appearance. The banjo player is John Dunkerley, and the guitarist is Brian Clark.
Ian Campbell (1933-2012) was the father of Ali, Robin and Duncan of UB40.
1. The Keeper
2. Unknown / Shandon Bells / The High Road to Linton
3. Twa Recruitin' Sergeants
Can anyone identify the first part of Swarbrick's medley?
Spot the faces in the audience: Long John Baldry (1:45), Martin Carthy (2:48, front row with guitar on left); Davy Graham (3:47 extreme left).
Cyril Davis and his Allstars, resident group, are on stage in the background: Keith Scott, keyboards, Bernie Watson guitar, Rick Brown bass and Carlo Little drums. Baldry was lead singer. - Hudba
We used to sing this tune in junior school
Dave........the master fiddler...RIP..
An example of how great Dave Swarbrick was before Fairport Convention......and the man Ian Campbell.....who's sons created the worldwide phenomenon that is UB40......
A great find😁👍
I love this kind of folk music. I’ve loved Dave Swarbick since my boyfriend gave me Liege and Lief for my birthday.
Spent many a Sunday in the presence of Ian Campbell in Birmingham, along with his parents Dave and Betty and his sister Lorna and her trio, Auden Forde and Neil Cox. Great times and great music.
great to see Dave Swarbrick in good health.
I think this is the only time I saw him without a cigarette in his mouth. He smoked while playing and held it when singing. It killed him. Rest in peace Swarbick. We’re still listening to your beautiful music.
Never seen Swarb looking this young before! Or with such short hair.
I remember seeing Ian Campbell at the MSG in Manchester. I really had a crush on John Dunkerly probably around '64!
Me too (not John Dunkerley!). The MSG was my favourite place in the earlysixties - great memories.
Fantastic! Real British music. Thanks for posting.
Fascinating stuff, Swarb in top form, thanks for posting Jon.
Amazing stuff. Great to see a young Swarb.
I came here from watching larkrise to candleford , the cast sing this during harvest , lovely 😊
What a great example of swarbrick
This is so wonderful. Dance ! 💃💖
When Swarb was a kid, he wanted to learn guitar. One of his teachers told him that everyone was playing guitars and that he should learn the fiddle. A legend was born.
The father of UB40.💪💪😁
Very good 60s folk, good singer, but there's no doubt who the star is: Swarb takes these guys to another level. A true master.
used to see them at them at the jug o' punch digbeth birmingham
Yes, Great Days.
@@patrickmckernon5191 The song 'Jug o'Punch' was the theme siong for Birmingham CND in the 1960s. Remember singing Easter 1964 marching into Trafalgar Square.
@@ianbeddowes5362 I did not know that, thanks for telling me.
As did I this brings back great memories.
I think i spotted Davy Graham too.
yes, 3:45 left side
Brilliant stuff!
They were legends, even their collaboration with Don Bilston who was my great Uncle!
Hi Jon! Great works. From Leif Sneen.
I am trying to make that first tune sound like The Rocky Road to Dublin and cannot. Still, I am awfully glad to hear this.
That's the title I was given (by someone else here). I don't know the tune well enough myself. Let me know if you recognise it as something else!
@@Jonpriley I do not recognize what it is but search youtube for The Rocky Road to Dublin and you will find dozens of recordings.
Thanks. For the time being - until someone else identifies it - I'll just call that section "unknown".
👍@@Jonpriley
The rocky road to dublin 9/8
Shandon bells 6/8
The high road to linto 4/4

They influenced his sons Ali, Robin and Duncan Campbell who founded reggae band UB40.
Ali and Robin Cambells Father!
and a natty 'tache on Swarb too.
Ii was gonna ask if it was swarbs lol, cheers
@@joriah69 Yeah, you can tell by the ears :-P
... and the fiddle playing.
Father ali campell ub40
Dave Swarbrick pre hair and cigarette.
Someone should have told the audience they are allowed to smile
He starts off with Rocky Road To Dublin but dont know the others
I think the second one is "Drops of Brandy".
The second tune goes by at least two titles - The Top Of The Cork Road and Father O'Flynn. Dave used to play it, among other tunes, for the Jug O'Punch Rapper Sword Team, of which I was a member.
@@grahamspencer6521 Nope, the second tune is definitively Shandon Bells. I think you were taken in by the A part having some very broad similarities with the tune you mentioned.
The third tune is an English/Scottish borders tune called "The high road to Linton."
PS. "Father O'Flynn" (which wasn't played here) is an English country dance tune called "Yorkshire Lasses", dating from the 18th century. The name "Father O'Flynn" comes from a song set to the tune in the 1870s. It's also a Morris tune called "Bonny Green Garters."
Swarb would not look out of place in Peaky blinders.
I remember getting dressed up to see Gordon Lightfoot or Joan Baez. We didn’t go in jeans.
at 1:57 the woman with the watch has the same smile of ali campbell.. maybe is just a coincidence or find out a relative of him
The singer is the father of Ali and Robin
Young David Bowie @ 1:50
Ha! No.
@@Jonpriley Hey Jon, sorry but I think that you're wrong. Respect.
@@indefence007 Not sure which person you mean, but at 1:50, the guy on bottom left is Long John Baldry - definite. The guy at the back in the middle is Keith Scott, pianist with Cyril Davies's All-Stars, the resident band.
@@Jonpriley I stand corrected..You're right Jon, of course that's definitely Long John Baldry.
Age has hit me over the head like a sledgehammer! 🤪
@@indefence007 And Davy Graham's in there too - have a look during the fiddle tunes
Swarb bears a huge resemblance to Charlie Chaplin
No Lorna. Boo.
