Dave Swarbrick

To some, the name Dave Swarbrick is synonymous with innovation and he is indeed credited with heralding the ‘Second Folk Revival’ while in seminal Folk/Rock band Fairport Convention, who had their heyday in the '70s. To others he is the fiddler’s yard stick to which they aspire.

Here is your chance to hear not only the mesmerizing fiddle of Swarb, but also anecdotes and insights from his extraordinary life and ask any questions which are on the tip of your tongue.

Not only Swarb, but his support act are a delightful English Folk Trio ‘Said the Maiden’ who have been played by Mike Harding on his Folk show, and who are charming audiences across the country with their tight harmonies, playful style and blended unison singing. A perfect balance for this evening of entertainment.
