Title: Collaborations Post by: Barry on February 04, 2008, 06:54:55 PM Hi Swarb
When you received your EFDSS Silver Badge a few years back, there was some wonderful banter between yourself and young Peter Knight about an album together. Now, for those of us of "a certain age", for whom Fairport and Steeleye were the twin cannons of folk/rock, this would be a dream come true. Any further thoughts in that direction? With your two contrasting styles, it could be really interesting! Title: Re: Collaborations Post by: Swarb on February 04, 2008, 07:20:25 PM funnily enough Peter and I played together for the first time a couple of days ago and it was smashing i am about to phone him, we both are thinking of doing something so watch this space ta swarb
Title: Re: Collaborations Post by: Barry on February 04, 2008, 07:21:09 PM Excellent! Thanks for that Swarb .... I'll start holding my breath!
Title: Re: Collaborations Post by: jamesiegang on February 04, 2008, 07:56:56 PM Great news about the possibility.
Have you thought about joining Peter, Dave Mattacks & the Crew on the 'Feast of Fiddles' tour? Title: Re: Collaborations Post by: SJN on February 04, 2008, 08:20:24 PM Great news about the possibility. Have you thought about joining Peter, Dave Mattacks & the Crew on the 'Feast of Fiddles' tour? Yes, that would really be brilliant! How about it? Title: Re: Collaborations Post by: Swarb on February 04, 2008, 08:45:35 PM would love to
Title: Re: Collaborations Post by: jamesiegang on February 04, 2008, 09:22:41 PM Great news Dave!
You and the L&L reunion get mentions on DM's website . How do you rate Dave as a drummer (in world terms)? Title: Re: Collaborations Post by: Swarb on February 04, 2008, 09:32:25 PM no one else for me none better swings like the proverbrials and a top notch all round gent to boot.he is also the most restrained drummer with the most technique. if anyone doubts that, listen to neil gows lament on the flittin album ,its 7 mins before he does a drum fill! marvelous. and if you are reading this d.m. I will have a double ;D
Title: Re: Collaborations Post by: jamesiegang on February 04, 2008, 09:49:53 PM Cheers Dave.
I like his work with Chris Rea also. I saw the 'Nine' line-up in the early 70's at Brunel Uni in West London. great gig & album. A mate & me were sure the band (& Sandy) were inthe bar beforehand ;)...Could that be true? Title: Re: Collaborations Post by: Swarb on February 04, 2008, 10:32:45 PM and during, and afterwards!
Title: Re: Collaborations Post by: jamesiegang on February 04, 2008, 10:50:31 PM No doubt :)

Fairport shared the bill (especially at festivlas) with quite a few bands that featured violin players in the late 60s /early 70s. Did you ever get to jam/meet with guys like Jerry Goodman (Flock,Mahavishnu Orchestra), David LaFalemme (It's A Beautiful Day) or Papa John Creach (Airplane/Hot Tuna)?..oh, and what about Sugarcane Harris (Zappa)? Were you keen on these guy's styles? Cheers, Slippy 8) 8) Title: Re: Collaborations Post by: Swarb on February 05, 2008, 01:53:05 PM okay!!
