Martin Carthy & Dave Swarbrick

Dave Swarbrick of Fairport Convention first teamed up with Martin Carthy in 1966. Today, their experienced approach lacks none of the fervour of their early days, and brings a maturity born of many years living with the music that is an integral part of their beings.
