Still can't believe he is no longer with us. Great peformer and man.

If I could give this video a thousand 👍 I would. Apart from being a brilliant musician, song writer and performer with wit and patter to leave your sides splitting with laughter, Vin was a warm & friendly man generous with his time willing to chat every time you met him weather after a gig or in an Indian restaurant in Cleckheaton. His popularity was shown by thousands at his funeral where Pat and her family were kind enough to open the cathedral doors to all who wanted to show their respects to the great man. Miss you everyday Vin. After watching this im off to play Shy Tot Pomny on vinyl! All the very best 🍺

A lovely man, much missed.

So lovely to see Vin again - miss him loads. Thanks for posting this!

Magical, 🎵❣️🎵.

Thanks for sharing this. It brings back so many memories of a great performer, much missed.

I saw Vin in Sheffield a couple of years or so before this. Great concert I recall. I always loved Vin`s in between song patter, especially the one he did before singing Beggars Bridge

“Absent Friends” wonderful

Many thanks for posting this excellent recording - I have such great memories of seeing Nic play during my time at Hull University and cannot understate what an influence he had on me. I spent years trying to reproduce his guitar style before I realised what was the point of copying when Nic did it all so wonderfully well

So miss this man.

Thank you so much for this, very precious to have this audio

Englands greatest traditional fiddler.😊

What, I missed him AGAIN? Fairport Convention came to Hobart in 1977. I told my music teacher. He convinced me it couldn't possibly be them; it must be some other band. So I didn't go. Christ, I was 13 and there was no internet, and I assumed he knew WTF he was talking about.

Great to hear this historic recording - my favourite Fairport era.

Thank you so much for this!

Many thanks for putting this up, my folk hero.

What I love about club recordings over LPs is that they more closely fit with my memories from back in the day - many great evenings with Nic :<)

Looked like the great fiddler was playing in a backwater folk club. A talent like Swarb's deserves a concert hall venue. It would be a sell out!

This is gold. Chris is probably my favourite folk singer. I was born in Yeovil and still live just down the road in Ilminster. I've spent years trying to learn his arrangements of some of these old songs. Thank you so much for putting this up.

Nice upload - thanks

Thank you Tony for keeping the legacy of Nic Jones alive.

This is great! I've only listened to Willie O'Winsbury so far and I'm so happy to have had the opportunity. It's cool to hear it with a different melody, but even more importantly the lyrics provide an explicitly different slant on William's employment, to get close to the daughter!

Blimey what a find! Excellent quality.The perfect showcase for this incredible artist.Thanks so much letting me travel back in time to 1975 .Cheers Jim

Thanks for this!!

Fantastic

Dang, i wish i could have taken fiddle lessons from him...😢

I'm going to have to send this to my mum, who knew Chris reasonably well in Yeovil decades ago

I miss him.

I remember watching Swarbrick in Fairport Conention at Glastonbury Fair back in 1972. He was smoking all the time he was playing. When he was singing the cigarette was in his hand. I never saw him without that cigarette back in the day. Rest in Peace Swarb. We loved you.

Thanks for the post. I think you can take the ? off All of Me and Bye Bye Blues. Hard to believe how high the level of virtuosity from these musicians. Great stuff!

Love it! Fantastic voice and playing. And the unique folk club atmosphere.....thank you so much

I have their album, one of my all time favourites! Thank you for sharing 🙏🌼❤️

warm thanks to Issy Swarbrick! a wonderful summary of all the pleasures of Dave's virtuosity. GREAT!

Wonderful and precious historical document! Too bad Richard's guitar is so low in the mix though - needs to be amplified about 5x.

Great photos. Do you have any of Clive Palmer?

Does anyone know the name of the tune that starts right at the 32 minute mark? Love that tune!

Thank you for posting- this is gold from start to finish! And nice to hear the tip o' the hat to Planxty at 07:00

Swarb is a legend! thanx for posting! Like everyone else in here I miss him,,...

Heavenly, thank you for uploading this Tony, and most of all, thank you beautiful Arramaieda! Is there anyone who can name all the songs they sing; make a songlist of the concert?

Rip Swarb. Saw him many times in Birmingham 😢

You lasses are Fantastically Brilliant 🎉✨️🌟🥳👍🏻

What a rare and unique talent .Unbelievable.

Thank you so much for this post, for recording and uploading this, it's very much appreciated.

Treasures. Every single song. Thank you for taking the time to share these wonderfully warm songs!

A very mild and soft-spoken guy who played with absolute authority. I first heard him when Bromberg did my broadcast ("Live at Passim's") and later booked him on his own.

Shame there is no video of Nic performing in the early days…..is there? or rumor of some such thing?

This is an absolute treasure. For you to share this is priceless and incredibly generous. Thank you so much for this post. It’s on the level of sharing a sip from the Holy Grail. The foresight to record this at the time, and not knowing what would befall Mr Jones…..magic.

I was lucky enough to see Nic perform just a few weeks after these recordings were made. He appeared at the Rhuddlan (North Wales) Folk Festival in the Summer of 1975.. I have always admired his creativity and his professionalism. A great original. Thanks for posting this.

Superb tune, playing and paintings!

🙂 Thank you for sharing this treasure! Cheers from Italy!
