Fairport Convention's Dave Swarbrick dies

Available for over a year

The British folk violinist, Dave Swarbrick, has died at the age of 75. Renowned for his fast and furious style of playing, he was a stalwart of the folk-rock scene, and spent more than a decade as a leading member of the influential group, Fairport Convention. Our correspondent David Sillito remembers the man, and his love for the fiddle -- an instrument he described as 'the greatest in the world'. (Photo: Dave Swarbrick. Credit: BBC.)
