- Richard Thompson: BBC Four Session - ...Goodbye Television Centre. Part of Goodbye to Television Centre. Guitarist, singer and songwriter Richard Thompson plays a concert filmed in BBC TV Centre.
This was broadcast on BBC Four on 22 March 2013.
Considering everything Swarb had been through by this point it's unbeleivable that he could still play at all, let alone make the violin almost burst into flames. This is a great testament to him and also the great musicianship of RT. It's hard to imagine the likes of these guys happening again. I was lucky enough to see Swarb quite a number of times with Martin Carthy, Fairports and Whippersnapper. Going back and listening to his early work with Ian Campbell shows that like the young RT, in early Fairports days - these guys were just brilliant from the outset.
Also a great testament to modern medicine !
I totally agree!
Can't get that "medicine" today RIP JEFF BECK!

Dave Swarbrick was a legend, I grew up listening to his music and luckily got to see him on his last tour! 😊 R.I.P my all time folk hero! x
Unbelievable!
I still find it hard to listen to Mr Swarbrick without getting all chocked up and tearful
Yeah, like right now!
that is how i feel about my old friends jim croce and maury muelheisen. i got to spend a few years spending time with jim and basically all his best friends. almost 50 years ago
I’m 73 now and grew up my Dad’s collection of Jimmy Shand and his Band.
This music has never left me… just the right side of melancholy melody and beauty with gaps and spaces for you to fill in your own understanding.
Certainly not painting by numbers!
I'm glad I had the chance to work with you, Swarb
- They can't take that away from me mate!
God Bless you! - R.I.P.
Getting very choked up... a beautiful soul has left this world.
I get ya!
Two of the finest musicians and song writers ever.
Don't leave out Kami!
R.I.P. Dave Swarbrick ... :(
Dave Swarbrick is a man who truly loves his instrument and don't even get me started on Richard!
I never had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Swarbrick perform, but I cherish his recordings. I'm grateful he left us so much great music.
Oooh. He was pretty good. Never without a cigarette in his mouth sadly.
Dave was in poor health and hearing shot at this time. What a talent! Thanks R.T.
Many thanks. RIP, Dave. You've left us a treasure.
An interesting tid bit about the last tune in the medley... The Gravel Walk - time for a long, drawn out thing I discovered, then I'll shut up... I had ordered the Dave Swarbrick Fiddle Tunes the day he had passed, about a few hours before I heard about his passing. Anyway, after a nice email from Maartin Allcock when I desperately needed to make an address change, I received the book a week later (international mail, you see). The last portion of the book has small snippets about the many tunes Swarb has performed on his many, many albums - mostly to point out whether they were traditional pieces (what types) or originals from Swarb (Wishing is an original in this medley) and some have some historical notes about the tunes, which there are a few sentences on the last piece of the above last tune in the medley, The Gravel Walk. Although Swarb jokingly says "The Gravel Path to Granny!", there's some legitimacy to the title, or a reason for the title he gives. Quoted from the fiddle tune book, bottom of page 230: "A favorite reel in County Donnegal, which has a tradition of adapting Scottish tunes. In this case, the root melody is the Scottish reel The Highland Man Who Kissed His Grannie. Granny is a remote, uninhabited glen in southwest County Donnegal, where locals used to summer their sheep. When they went to gather them in Autumn, they would access Granny by climbing up the gravel paths, thus the name." I thought that was pretty kewl.
The SWARB ... still feel very privileged to say I saw the great man & musician on many wonderful occasions & it was always a pleasure to be in the company of one of the greats of the Folk Tradition ... still & will always be sadly missed ... R.I.P , Dave Swarbrick .
It's time the BBC released this BBC4 gig on DVD and Blu-ray, as it is an amazing performance from all members.
I am a hard unsentimental bastard but this has killed me stone dead. Thank God he was here.
Omg you are so right!!!! 😊
Pure, unadulterated magic.
Thank you for the music, Mr. Swarbrick.
I will never forget that sunday morning dancing in front of Fairport Convention at Roskilde Festival start of the 70`s
When Swarb left, Fairport lost it's soul! Rick and Chris do not manage to fill in the gap... This incredible lightness and feeling make him a giant. The true sound of Fairport came from him.
I will always love you, Dear Swarb.
Two incredible musicians at the top of their form. A pure joy to listen to.
Say hi to Sandy for us
This was the last time I ever saw Dave Swarbrick perform, albeit on TV. What a wonderful memory! May God Bless You!
RIP Dave Swarbrick - Pioneer of Electric/Rock Folk Music
Thanks to Dave and The Fairport Convention.
I`ve been with you for - all the time.
From Danmark. Preben
Happy Birthday Swarb. The Fairport family are all downing a drink or two or three in your honour. A pleasure to have seen you play.
Such a great loss to music - Dave was a brilliant musician.
This is delightful! Swarb was a FB friend for many years since I contacted him about being awakened by Fairport playing the Lark while in Oman in 1972!,
RIP Swarb, the Stephan Grapelli of folk music. My dad used to know you back in the Ian Campbell days.
R.I.P Swarb. Go gentle.Go with love. xXx
I echo that. Goddess rest his merry soul.
The whole show is brilliant, I love Swarb, he's still got it, what an absolute legend?.... Ladies and Gentlemen....Sir David Swarbrick... Folk Salute!!!!! (watch his fingers!!!!)
R.I.P. Dave , you where the greatest, say hello from me to the other Dave up there that made me come to know you and your music, in my heart forever
Two of the all time greats !
Thank you Swarbs. RIP
Beautiful! Thanks for posting. Going to see Richard in Feb. for the first time in 15 years. It will be the 10th time I have seen him live and this time I will be taking my teenage son. TIme to spread the faith!
In the presence of greatness. Enough said!
Oh those wonderful memories came flooding back.....🥲
LOL when Swarb makes a fake at "Walk Awhile," and RT calls him off: "oh no, don't go there!"
RIP to a genius of the strings.
Fairports never actually die. Do they, Sandy?
Looking back at the wonder we lost on this Earthly Veil to the glories of Heaven's Band .
It doesn't get much better than this.
It doesn't get any better than this .
I love old men with young hands. Beautiful.
Saw Dave Swarbrick twice in a folk club in London. Brilliant. Was with Martin Carthy. Also have seen Richard Thompson in London, Edinburgh and Newcastle. Very special talent and a nice man.
Two superb artists well matched.RIP Swarbs
Seen Richard countless times. Saw Fairport with Swarb twice. This clip is remarkable.
He got me obsessed with Dirty Linen (Lat Night's Fun etc.) and seeing this finishing with another obsession The Gravel Walk - I'm still inspired 50 years on and realise I'll never get a fiddle to sound as stunning!! Farewell to a genius and inspiration to tens of thousands.
Once, just once, some one came ro me while I was busking and said " you're influenced by Dave Swarbrick, I can hear it in your playing." I had to stop for a bit ro recover.
Swarbs still has that sense of humor.Nice to see.
Time and tide is catching up with an awful lot of people. R.I.P. Dave. Fiddle on and Godspeed you on your journey...
rest in peace Dave thanks for sharing your talent with us
What an amazing video; two absolute masters of their craft and the interplay and love between them is amazing to see...

Simply amazing, no words.
the great Swarb and Thompson. Met Swarb at the Filmore East years ago...
Purity sustained the hungry departure of my depression. Soothing beyond explanation.
Great backing/rhythm guitar from RT! Generous and gentle.
RIP Dave, bless your heart.
The montage Fairport put together is wonderful (also on this platform)
I used to see the Fairports every time they played the Dagenham Roundhouse such a brilliant intimate venue Swarbs always centre of my focus. Much missed, happy days.
