The 9 tunes on this CD were originally released on LP in 1978. Dave Swarbrick played with the two famous folk groups, Ian Campbell and Fairport Convention before making this record. Dave Swarbrick’s rowdy style and fine violin playing are a joy to hear. Swarbrick is accompanied by 6 friends from the folk music scene.
