28.02.10 Dave Swarbrick - solo.
Dave Swarbrick returns for a solo performance following his charm-filled appearance here in September with Martin Carthy. We got some cracking deco wall lights off him last time around - so the atmosphere of the Waiting Room back room should be that much more chintz-glitzy this time around. It is often quoted that Dave Swarbrick is "the most influential (British) fiddle player bar none", and there is no doubt that he is a leading interpreter of traditional British music, since being an initiator of the electric folk music with Fairport Convention in the 60's.
There is no doubt that this will be an exhilarating evening - with Dave likely to produce an incredible free folk fiddle performance with some fantastic, surprising jazz slurs.*
*(that's what struck us last time around in any case).
