Dave Swarbrick Fiddle Tunes (December 2015)

This 240pp book features the work of Dave Swarbrick from his contributions to the Ian Campbell Folk Group in the 1960s and the first solo album Rags, Reels and Airs (1967) through the solo albums of the 1970s, 80s and 90s, his work with Martin Carthy, Fairport Convention, Whippersnapper, The Band Of Hope and Swarb's Lazarus right up to some as yet unrecorded tunes of Swarb's composition. The copious notes on the tunes have been proofread and added to by Swarb. There are over 300 tunes in all. It's a very reasonable price for such a collection, and a worth addition to any collection of traditional dance music.

"What a beautiful book in every way. Even for a non-player, this collection of tunes and photographs is a joy to own. It is Dave Swarbrick's musical history so far. A true labour of love, and a gift to the world of music" - Peter Knight (Gigspanner, Steeleye Span)

OX15 (1999)

"Reflecting on Maartin Allcock's prodigious guitar technique, Richard Thompson once observed slyly that perhaps it was time for "the old hand caught in the door" trick. Certainly OX15 provides the scope that's been lacking in recent ventures and results in plenty of invention and instrumental razzmatazz. Whenever We See The Dark features Ian Anderson and out-Tulls Jethro Tull, the collaboration with singer Najma Akhtar is a well-judged change of pace, while the sound-effects-strewn Crash Polka is the comedy instrumental of the year. If there's a sense that he's over-raiding the cupboard (a cover of the Allman Brothers Band's Jessica?), the quality of the guests (Troy Donockley, Chris Leslie, Gerry Conway) and a consistently big sound more than compensate. Maartin Allcock deserves a bigger stage." ***

Fairport Convention Songbook One v2.0 (2004)

Not just a reprint but a whole new (2004) remake of the first Fairport book I did back in 1993, with 14 extra songs, lots of guitar tablature for the first time (and some mandolin tablature too) and lots of new photos, including some very rare old shots as well as quite a few from our own collections. There is new artwork and Calligillustration™ by David Paul Gleeson, who I went to school with and who is becoming very collectable as an artist in his own right.

SORRY, SOLD OUT!

Fairport Convention Songbook Two (1998)

This book was published in 1998 and filled out the gaps with another 58 pieces from the beginning right up to the 30th anniversary album "Who Knows Where The Time Goes", (though that song is in Songbook One).
