Artist Biography
Dave Swarbrick was one of England's most influential fiddlers. As a member of Fairport Convention between 1970 and 1979, Swarbrick was instrumental in the band's transformation from Byrds-style folk-rock to its focus on updating the jigs and reels of Great Britain. While continuing to perform at Fairport's annual reunion festival in Cropedy during later years, Swarbrick successfully explored a variety of outside projects as a soloist; a duo partner with the likes of Martin Carthy, Simon Nicol, Alistair Hulett, and Pete Hawkes; and a member of tradition-rooted bands Whippersnapper and the Keith Hancock Band. ~ Craig Harris
