And Listen... and Love!

"England's virtuoso fiddler Dave Swarbrick seems to have been around forever. Despite severe health problems and a premature obituary, he's still making magnificent music today. But he's rarely been on finer form than when he recorded "Lift the Lid and Listen" in 1978 - and his own playing is matched by that of his friends: Scottish harper Savourna Stevenson... the wonderful lyrical pianist Beryl Marriott... Simon, Peggy and Bruce from Fairport Convention... From the exquisite "Lark in the Clear Air" and the stately "Nonsuch" to an effervescent Morris set and a blistering "Kate Dalrymple", this is Swarb at his best."
