Thread Name: Review: Carthy & Swarbrick
Subject: RE: Review: Carthy & Swarbrick
It occurred to me listening to Swarb play at the gig how he not just plays a tune but plays with it no matter how often he's done it. Seemingly trying new little avenues or paths but always managing to end up on the right road. Obviously he's not the only musciian to do that but he's a master at it and i think that's one of the reasons he and Martin have always lasted, on and off, as a musical partnership all these years. Martin always looks fascinated at where Swarb is going with a tune and always manages to stay with him. Conversely Swarb knows Martin's singing and, and equally brilliantly inventive guitar style so well he knows exactly what's needed.
