Dave Swarbrick

Dave Swarbrick () var ein engelsk folkemusikar og låtskrivar, mest kjend for sin innsats i folkrockbandet Fairport Convention.

Liv og karriere 
Swarbrick var ein av dei mest akta musikarane frå den andre britiske folkemusikkbølgja og medverka i nokre av dei viktigaste gruppene og prosjekta i 1960-åra. Han var ein mykje nytta studiomusikar som kom inn i Fairport Convention i 1969 då bandet hyra han inn til å legge felestemmer på nokre av spora på albumet Unhalfbricking. Det enda med at Swarbrick vart eit regulært bandmedlem, og saman med Richard Thompson har han hovedæra for det innverknadsrike albumet Liege & Lief (1969). Etter 1970 sto han fram som frontfigur i Fairport og leia bandet gjennom ei rekkje viktige album fram til oppløysinga i 1979. Swarbricks energiske og unike spelestil vart eit særtrekk for bandet sitt lydbilete. 

Utover 1970-åra vart Swarbrick i tiltakande grad plaga av høyrsleproblem, forverra av elektrisk forsterka lyd, men han spelte seinare i ei rekkje mindre kjende akustiske band, dreiv eigne soloprosjekt og gav ut mange album. 

Gjennom karrieren arbeidde Swarbrick med mange store artistar innan folk og folkrock. Ashley Hutchings skildra Swarbrick som den absolutt viktigaste britiske felespelaren. Stilen hans er kopiert og vidareutvikla av nesten alle britiske og mange andre fiolinistar innan folkemusikk.
