 Recording review: Dave Swarbrick   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
As a fiddler who plays with remarkable grace and lift, Swarbrick brought new influences into the traditional fiddle repertoire, a contribution for which he is still remembered.
Swarbrick is assisted on most of the tracks by long-time musical partner Martin Carthy (although his playing at that time had not yet developed into the trademark Carthy style).
Even from this date, Swarbrick's facility with variations and ornaments can be heard on his delicate rendering of "The Cuckoo's Nest" or when he puts "The Kid on the Mountain" through its paces.

Swarbrick was never quite as close to hornpiping off this mortal coil as the Daily Telegraph's obituaries page once famously suggested.
Swarbrick's playing complemented Hulett's powerful political songwriting and gruff but compassionate singing, ducking and diving between songlines, adding grainy counterpoints and high-flying descants.
However strong his convictions, though, he won't mind that it was Swarbrick who stole the show with a solo fiddle interlude that packed gracefulness, character and easy musicality into one classic medley.

Given that Swarbrick's career has included spells as Mr Carthy's duo partner, and many years service aboard the good ship Fairport, you might be forgiven for wondering whether this whole new box-set actually constitutes an "essential" purchase.
While, in "Fairporthead" terms I'm a relative "newcomer" to all things Swarbrick (at a mere 41, I retain my boyish charm and youthful good looks), I like to believe that I'm pretty "clued-up" on the man's work -- but this is full of surprises.
The Three Desperate Mortgages was a name adopted by Messrs Swarbrick, Nicol and Pegg for a few folk club dates during one of Fairport's (many) periods of financial difficulty.

 Dave Swarbrick: Bewitched by the muse
Fairport also saw the debut of his famed electric fiddle sound that found him reinventing the instrument to match the profile and volume of the band's other boisterous components.
While Swarb's Fairport activities shone the spotlight on his electric fiddle work, solo albums released during the '70s and '80s—including Swarbrick, Lift the Lid and Listen, and Smiddyburn—reminded listeners of his fierce acoustic prowess.
In fact, most of Swarb's post-Fairport pursuits have been in the unplugged realm with groups including Whippersnapper and the Band of Hope, as well as in duos with Kevin Dempsey and Simon Nicol.

Despite the notional themes of each disc, the track listing ranges fairly randomly across the years, from the early 1960s recordings with Ian Campbell, Bert Lloyd and Beryl Marriott, through the Carthy, Fairport and Whippersnapper years, solos, duets and guest spots with other groups, to an extract from 2003's English Fiddler album.
It's avowedly not a "Best of" collection, so anyone unfamiliar with Swarbrick's output should begin elsewhere; instead, this is a delightful treasure trove of alternative or unknown recordings from the vast repertoire of Britain's greatest fiddler.
This lavishly packaged, authoritative long-box set is the first in-depth anthology of the music & 45-year career of Dave Swarbrick, one of Britain's best loved & most influential folk fiddle players.
