An example of how great Dave Swarbrick was before Fairport Convention......and the man Ian Campbell.....who's sons created the worldwide phenomenon that is UB40......
Spent many a Sunday in the presence of Ian Campbell in Birmingham, along with his parents Dave and Betty and his sister Lorna and her trio, Auden Forde and Neil Cox. Great times and great music.
I think this is the only time I saw him without a cigarette in his mouth. He smoked while playing and held it when singing. It killed him. Rest in peace Swarbick. We’re still listening to your beautiful music.
When Swarb was a kid, he wanted to learn guitar. One of his teachers told him that everyone was playing guitars and that he should learn the fiddle. A legend was born.
@@patrickmckernon5191 The song 'Jug o'Punch' was the theme siong for Birmingham CND in the 1960s. Remember singing Easter 1964 marching into Trafalgar Square.
The second tune goes by at least two titles - The Top Of The Cork Road and Father O'Flynn. Dave used to play it, among other tunes, for the Jug O'Punch Rapper Sword Team, of which I was a member.
@@grahamspencer6521 Nope, the second tune is definitively Shandon Bells. I think you were taken in by the A part having some very broad similarities with the tune you mentioned. The third tune is an English/Scottish borders tune called "The high road to Linton." PS. "Father O'Flynn" (which wasn't played here) is an English country dance tune called "Yorkshire Lasses", dating from the 18th century. The name "Father O'Flynn" comes from a song set to the tune in the 1870s. It's also a Morris tune called "Bonny Green Garters."
Born 1968. Found UB40. Found out that their dad was the music my dad loved. Original pontardawe , bromyard folk festivals . Neath folk club. Rebelled . Skinhead. Punk. Rude boy. Love my dad Still prefer Bad Manners. 🕴😁
@@indefence007 Not sure which person you mean, but at 1:50, the guy on bottom left is Long John Baldry - definite. The guy at the back in the middle is Keith Scott, pianist with Cyril Davies's All-Stars, the resident band.
I love this kind of folk music. I’ve loved Dave Swarbick since my boyfriend gave me Liege and Lief for my birthday.
Dave........the master fiddler...RIP..

Classic folk music, so refreshing and eternal
Never seen Swarb looking this young before! Or with such short hair.
great to see Dave Swarbrick in good health.

My dad, who started the first folk club in Coventry knew them well.
Amazing stuff. Great to see a young Swarb.
I remember seeing Ian Campbell at the MSG in Manchester. I really had a crush on John Dunkerly probably around '64!
Me too (not John Dunkerley!). The MSG was my favourite place in the earlysixties - great memories.
Fascinating stuff, Swarb in top form, thanks for posting Jon.
What a great example of swarbrick
Fantastic! Real British music. Thanks for posting.
Very good 60s folk, good singer, but there's no doubt who the star is: Swarb takes these guys to another level. A true master.
We used to sing this tune in junior school

The father of UB40.💪💪😁

@@ianbeddowes5362 I did not know that, thanks for telling me.
As did I this brings back great memories.
Brilliant stuff!
I am trying to make that first tune sound like The Rocky Road to Dublin and cannot. Still, I am awfully glad to hear this.
That's the title I was given (by someone else here). I don't know the tune well enough myself. Let me know if you recognise it as something else!
@@Jonpriley I do not recognize what it is but search youtube for The Rocky Road to Dublin and you will find dozens of recordings.
Thanks. For the time being - until someone else identifies it - I'll just call that section "unknown".
👍@@Jonpriley
The rocky road to dublin 9/8
Shandon bells 6/8
The high road to linto 4/4
SO good❤
They were legends, even their collaboration with Don Bilston who was my great Uncle!
Hi Jon! Great works. From Leif Sneen.
Vine acá por el hijo de Ian ❤
Ali and Robin Cambells Father!
and a natty 'tache on Swarb too.
Ii was gonna ask if it was swarbs lol, cheers
@@joriah69 Yeah, you can tell by the ears :-P
... and the fiddle playing.
He starts off with Rocky Road To Dublin but dont know the others
I think the second one is "Drops of Brandy".

Swarb would not look out of place in Peaky blinders.
They influenced his sons Ali, Robin and Duncan Campbell who founded reggae band UB40.
Young David Bowie @ 1:50
Ha! No.
@@Jonpriley Hey Jon, sorry but I think that you're wrong. Respect.

@@Jonpriley I stand corrected..You're right Jon, of course that's definitely Long John Baldry.
Age has hit me over the head like a sledgehammer! 🤪
@@indefence007 And Davy Graham's in there too - have a look during the fiddle tunes
I remember getting dressed up to see Gordon Lightfoot or Joan Baez. We didn’t go in jeans.
Dave Swarbrick pre hair and cigarette.
Someone should have told the audience they are allowed to smile
Swarb bears a huge resemblance to Charlie Chaplin
No Lorna. Boo.
