Martin Carthy & Dave Swarbrick

Martin Carthy & Dave Swarbrick has sold out, please call the box office on 01432 340555 to ask about the waiting list.

The super-duo are back together after 14 years. Great guitarist and singer Martin Carthy and virtuoso violin player Dave Swarbrick first became heroes of the British folk scene when they worked as an acoustic duo in the 1960s, before Dave went off to join the finest line-up of Fairport Convention.
They were reunited in the early 90s, but Dave then became so ill that the Daily Telegraph famously published his premature obituary. He has now recovered and, following an emotional reunion with the Fairports in 2006, they made a new Carthy-Swarbrick album - every bit as good as their earlier work.
They stick to the old formula, with Martin singing and playing robust acoustic guitar, and Dave switching between thoughtful accompaniment and rousing solos. Best of all are the fiddle tunes, which serve as a reminder that Dave is also an inspired writer. Welcome back.
