CD-Dave Swarbrick - Smiddyburn + Flittin' -2 albums on 1~Fairport Convention

Description: ( SMMIDDYBURN/FLITTIN ) by ( DAVE SWARBRICK )...... ....( recorded at Greenhouse studios in London 1991, rela fan says: This is a re-release on CD of two albums recorded at the same sessions in 1981 and originally released in 1981 (Smiddyburn) and 1983 (Flittin'). These were the fifth and sixth Albums released as Swarb solos in the period after he left Fairport Convention. Swarb's playing is magnificent throughout on both fiddle and mandolin, and he is accompanied by various combinations of seven musicians. On seven tracks the band comprises former Fairport colleagues Richard Thompson (guitar and mandocello), Simon Nicol (guitar), Dave Pegg (bass guitar and mandolin) and Dave Mattacks (drums). Fairport fans will instantly recognise this as the "Full House" line-up from 1970. Nicol also features with Bruce Rowland, another Fairport drummer, Beryl Mariott (piano and piano accordion) and John McCormick (double bass) on a further four tracks. On the remaining tracks Swarb plays with Thompson and Pegg (three tracks), Nicol and Marriott (one track) and Nicol alone (one track). All the music bar one track is instrumental, mainly of traditional tunes. The programme is well balanced, with changes in pace from rapid and dashing dance tunes to slow, soulful and reflective airs. The odd track out is Sandy Denny's "It Suites Me Well" (from her "Sandy" album), which Swarb sings with the "Full House" band. I bought this CD to replace the original vinyl albums, and I had forgotten just how good they are. This is music for many moods and all moods, played by musicians who clearly love playing. I thoroughly recommend it, and at this price it offers excellent value. 1 Wat Ye Wha I Met The Streen / The Ribbons Of The Redhead Girl / Ril Gan Ainm Bass Guitar – Dave Pegg Drums, Percussion – Dave Mattacks Guitar – Richard Thompson, Simon Nicol Violin, Mandolin – Dave Swarbrick 4:48 2 Sir Charles Coote / Smiths Mandolin – Dave Pegg, Dave Swarbrick, Richard Thompson 2:43 3 I Have A Wife Of My Own / Lady Mary Haye's Scotch Measure Double Bass – John McCormick (4) Drums – Bruce Rowland Guitar – Simon Nicol Piano – Beryl Marriott Violin – Dave Swarbrick 3:37 4 Wishing / The Victor's Return / The Gravel Walk Bass Guitar – Dave Pegg Drums, Percussion – Dave Mattacks Guitar – Simon Nicol Guitar, Mandolin – Richard Thompson Violin – Dave Swarbrick 5:15 5 When The Battle Is Over Mandocello – Richard Thompson Mandolin – Dave Pegg, Dave Swarbrick 2:00 6 Sword Dance / The Young Black Cow Bass Guitar – Dave Pegg Drums, Percussion – Dave Mattacks Guitar – Richard Thompson, Simon Nicol Violin – Dave Swarbrick 4:18 7 Sean O'Dwyer Of The Glen / The Hag With The Money / Sleepy Maggie Guitar – Simon Nicol Piano, Piano Accordion, Clavichord – Beryl Marriott Violin, Mandolin – Dave Swarbrick 4:52 8 It Suits Me Well Bass Guitar – Dave Pegg Drums – Dave Mattacks Guitar – Richard Thompson, Simon Nicol Vocals, Violin, Mandolin – Dave Swarbrick 5:48 'Flittin'' (1983) 9 The Bride's March / The Keelman's Pertition / Shew Me The Way To Wallingford / Sword Dance Bass Guitar – Dave Pegg Drums – Dave Mattacks Guitar – Richard Thompson, Simon Nicol Violin – Dave Swarbrick 6:48 10 Parthenia / Pittengardener's Rant / The Floggin' Double Bass – John McCormick (4) Drums – Bruce Rowland Guitar – Simon Nicol Piano, Piano Accordion – Beryl Marriott Violin – Dave Swarbrick 5:50 11 Grey Daylight / The Hawk / The Ten Pound Fiddle Guitar – Simon Nicol Violin – Dave Swarbrick 1:40 12 Jamaica / With All My Heart Double Bass – John McCormick (4) Drums – Bruce Rowland Guitar – Simon Nicol Piano, Piano Accordion – Beryl Marriott Violin, Mandolin – Dave Swarbrick 5:50 13 Nathaniel Gow's Lament On The Occasion Of The Death Of His Brother / Rory Of The Hills Bass Guitar – Dave Pegg Drums – Dave Mattacks Guitar – Richard Thompson, Simon Nicol Violin – Dave Swarbrick 7:50 14 The Rakes Of Sollohad Mandolin – Dave Pegg, Dave Swarbrick Mandolin, Mandocello – Richard Thompson 3:51 15 Dr. Issac's Maggot / Cupid's Garden Double Bass – John McCormick (4) Drums – Bruce Rowland Guitar – Simon Nicol Piano – Beryl Marriott Violin – Dave Swarbrick 3:50 16 Boadicea Bass Guitar – Dave Pegg Drums – Dave Mattacks Guitar – Simon Nicol Mandolin – Richard Thompson Violin – Dave Swarbrick 2:10 )....... )[postage rates:HELLO FRIENDS & CUSTOMERS— IF YOU HAVE WON MORE THAN ONE ITEM--PLEASE DO NO T SEND PAYMENT—TILL WE SEND YOU A PROPER INVOICE TAKING ANY AND ALL SPECIFICS INTO CONSIDERATION-WE WILL TRY TO SEND AN INVOICE BETWEEN 24-48 HOURS OF THE AUCTIONS ENDING.] Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
