	Dave Pegg - The Official Jethro Tull Website
		Dave was responsible, during this lengthy career with Tull, for re-forming the Fairports, first through their annual get-together at the Cropredy Folk Festival which he and his wife Christine still promote and organise, and then with new records made in Dave's own Woodworms Studio.
		Having bid farewell to Tull boys, Dave began to enjoy a little more time off but was soon succumbing to the pleasures and pains of more FC tours and recordings, as well as continuing to put together the growing and demanding Cropredy event.
		Dave and the Fab Fairport Five (or is it four?) can be pounced upon and personally examined, cyberspatially speaking, at: http://www.fairportconvention.co.uk.

	Dave Mattacks - The Official Jethro Tull Website
		Dave's updates can be found at his own website at www.dmattacks.co.uk.
		After leaving in 1974 and rejoining the band in 1985, he was asked to appear as sensitive percussionist, drummer and keyboard player on the semi-acoustic tour "A Little Light Music" with Jethro Tull in 1992, which produced the live album of the same name.
		Dave Mattacks finally left Fairport in early '98 to work with a number of different folk, pop, and jazz artists with whom he continues to record and tour.

	LP: Players Roster: Dave Mattacks
		In this band, Dave ingeniously assimilated the feel of two-step jigs and reels with a rock backbeat, propelling the folkloric styles into the twentieth century.
		He headlined the Marblehead Arts Festival in 2002 with The Dave Mattacks Trio, an acoustic jazz ensemble, and was special guest of Takashi Hagiwara for the Yamaha drum guru's retirement gala concert held at winter NAMM in 2004.
		Of his relationship with LP, Dave is adamant: "They provide the most comprehensive, best sounding, and best made range of percussion gear," he enthuses.

	MSJ -Fairport Convention-The Woodworm Years
		Another story told in song, but this is much more rocked up than "The Hiring Fair." Mattacks' drumming adds to the march-tempo feel of this song, rather appropriate considering the topic of the song (marching off to do battle).
		From the album of the same name, this is another anti-war sentiment (I think we're on a theme here) about a man who witnesses a battle at a bridge at Cropredy (where, perhaps by coincidence, is where Fairport hold their annual music festival).
		Dave Mattacks does a good job with his dynamics - a powerful shot here, a delicate roll there - to convey the distance or immediacy of the battle to the narrator.

		With only Swarbrick, Pegg and Mattacks remaining, the group needed a serious infusion of new blood if they were to survive.
		Hopelessness began to set in, with Mattacks the first to succumb; leaving the band after a tour that followed some of the sessions for the new album.
		Mattacks’ ability to combine both a deceptive simplicity with an imaginative ability for rhythmic displacement that elevated even the simplest of songs -- not to mention his instantly recognizable drum sound -- would prove impossible to replace.

	Drummerworld: Dave Weckl
		Dave Weckl is one of fusion's most acclaimed drummers, making his name during a six-year stint with Chick Corea.
		The Dave Weckl Band had really gelled by the time of Transition's 2000 release, but Weckl didn't leave teaching behind either, and released another instructional recording, The Zone, in 2001.
		After covering ear protection, Dave describes and demonstrates the difference between "survival" practice, which helps you become a great supportive drummer, and "Advancement of the Art" practice, which helps you stretch the limits of the instrument.

	Dave Mattacks
		Mattacks, whose background was with big bands that he remembered as "almost Lawrence Welk-ish," came to Fairport through an audition.
		Mattacks' moment of enlightenment was reflected in his approach to the drums.
		Mattacks' first instrument was piano before he took up the drums in his teens and his understanding of the piano continues to be reflected in his drumming.

	FAME Review: Folk On 2: Dave Swarbrick: Dave Swarbrick and Fairport Convention
		In this case, the history reviewed is that of Dave Swarbrick on the occasion of his 50th birthday.
		Dave joins Ian and Lorna Campbell on a couple of vintage folk chestnuts, including "Viva La Quince Brigade" (a very moving Spanish Civil War song).
		Needless to say, the triumph of the evening is Dave's reunion with the current Fairport lineup (Dave Pegg, Dave Mattacks, Martin Allcock, original member Simon Nicol and Swarb's successor, Rick Sanders).

	Fairport Convention - Music Downloads - Online
		This school of thought severely underestimates their songwriting talents, and others feel that they were at their best when mixing original and outside material, and contemporary and traditional styles, in fact becoming more predictable and derivative when they opted to concentrate on British folk chestnuts.
		Denny would actually return to the group for about a year and a half in the 1970s, prior to her death in 1978; Nicol rejoined in 1976.
		Keeping track of Fairport's multitudinous lineup changes is a daunting task, and the group has coexisted on an erratic basis with the various other projects of the most frequent members (Nicol, Mattacks, and Pegg, the last of whom has played with Jethro Tull since the late '70s).

	Philip Pickett, The Bones of All Men
		By "some of his cronies" I mean the entire Fairport rhythm section: bassist Dave Pegg, rhythm guitarist Simon Nicol, and drummer Dave Mattacks.
		Mattacks plays on the odd beat giving the song a disjointed feel.
		Mattacks hammers away and really adds some oomph to the song while Pegg's bass churns out staccato rhythm lines.

	Richard Thompson/Fairport Convention
		New fiddler Dave Swarbrick (who'd worked before for several years with folk guitarist Martin Carthy) is astoundingly dextrous and soulful, propelling the band through a break-neck four-minute instrumental dance medley ("The Lark In The Morning/Rakish Paddy/Fox Hunter's Jig/Toss The Feathers").
		Mattacks left the group and was replaced by Bruce Rowlands about half-way through the sessions.
		Mattacks is replaced by former Fotheringay drummer Gerry Conway, who'd known the band for three decades.

		Recorded in Cambridge, MA and produced by legendary British drummer Dave Mattacks and Boston studio wiz Tom Dube, the music of Home Before Long ranges from straight up country blues and love-lorn ballads to raucous roots-rock.
		Mattacks (whose studio drumming credits include albums with Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Richard Thompson) chose Shain's, No Tag, No Tail Light, for his first stint in the producer's chair.

	Dave Pegg: In real time
		And originally it was just going to be the three of us, but we decided we needed another person and I suggested Dave Mattacks.

		It was very beneficial and Dave Mattacks did really well doing that.

		Eventually, Dave came to the States and spent a month with Tom, who arranged a bunch of studio work for Dave.
		They ended up hitting it off so well that, about a year later, Dave and his wife decided to move to the U.S. "Dave settled in the Boston area, and Tom has gotten him a steady stream of work," he continued.
		When asked how he came to hook up with Dave Mattacks, Jon described it as a mix of dumb luck and his mother's unexpected connections.

	Chalkhills: Jim Price speaks to Andy Partridge, June 1991
		A: Well, it's a bit of a fairytale really, because the Dukes' drummer, Dave Gregory's brother Ian, or E. Owen as he is in his Dukes guise, went to a Fairport Convention gig.
		They had some programmes for sale, kind of giving you a history of Fairport, and Ian Gregory had one of these and was reading through and he got to the bit on Dave Mattacks, because Dave Mattacks is a very famous drummer amongst drummers and musicians.
		So we've been rehearsing with Dave Mattacks who is an alarmingly tasteful drummer, nauseatingly tasteful.

		This incarnation of Fairport Convention was their first without a female voice (and, with the exception of Denny's brief return in the mid-seventies, they would remain that way henceforth).
		The writing team of guitarist Richard Thompson and fiddler Dave Swarbrick came up with a trio of classics in "Walk Awhile, " "Sloth, " and "Doctor of Physick, " but it was a teaming that was to prove short-lived, as Thompson departed before the next studio album.

		Former and current Fairport Conventioneers Richard Thompson (guitar, vocals), Dave Pegg (bass, mandolin, backing vocals) and Dave Mattacks (drums), along with singer/songwriter Ralph McTell, formed the GP's ("Grazed Pontiffs," so dubbed by Dave Mattacks following the assassination attempt on the Pope) in the summer of 1981 to headline an evening at the annual Fairport..
		McTell, who had always wanted to be in a band, and Thompson, who was between projects and labels, fronted the group which was meant to be primarily a pub band.
		With the rhythm section of Pegg and Mattacks driving them, the GP's churned out folk and country standards, classic Motown, Jerry Lee Lewis, Eddie Cochran, Bob Dylan and even a few McTell and Thompson originals for six shows.

	Fairport Convention Reinvention
		While British folk-rock progenitor Fairport Convention was never less than mercurial — with a revolving door of band members that began with its first, self-titled, recording and continues to this day — there have also been clearly defined periods where, despite personnel changes, distinct identities would emerge.
		Still, both their ’71 releases, Angel Delight and the concept album Babbacombe Lee — while clearly having their own charms and managing to remain indefinably and distinctly Fairport — felt as though they were missing something.
		Mattacks’ ability to combine both a deceptive simplicity with an imaginative ability for rhythmic displacement that elevated even the simplest of songs — not to mention his instantly recognizable drum sound — would prove impossible to replace.
