As I'm listening to Dream Attic for the first time in years, I'm reminded that on the recordings for that album his band included a violinist (Joel Zifkin). I can't think of many other albums or tours where he has included a fiddler in his line-up.  I remember when the BBC left the TV Centre they recorded a concert of him with Swarb (though I don't think that has ever been released), but can anyone else remember him working with a fiddler?


How bizarre; I was also listening to Dream Attic the other day for the first time in years! I really enjoyed it, and it might be the last RT album that I really like every track, maybe because its got a nice full sound.

Fab! Thanks for pointing me in the direction of these David. Beautiful stuff. Swarb's glance at Richard at 2.59 in Sloth... Smiley

Let's not forget that after Swarb huffed off out of the 2009 Barbican show, RT went and played solo with him very soon afterwards...

Fwiw I too have often thought about RT 'not working with' Swarb.  But actually, if you think about it, where would he fit in on something like Hand of Kindness?  And then it becomes FC.  Also personalities...two very very different approaches to life?


Having played both recently I wondered about the longer explanation of how Fairport ‘not’ Convention got together for Smiddyburn/Flittin’. Probably from a Cropredy reunion thing but still curious

I think Electric is one of the gaps in my RT collection.  I was thinking more of times when he has consistently used a fiddler on a tour or an album, rather than odd appearances.  He seems to have done that more with squeezeboxes - John Kirkpatrick in particular.


I don't think I've seen him on any tour with a fiddle player in his backing band so it's an instrument he seems to prefer having in the studio rather than on the road, the exception being the Dream Attic live recordings when he had Joel Zifkin in his band.

And since Pete Zorn's sad passing he's pretty much stuck with the trio line-up of guitar, bass and drums.

 i like it, Alan, but i sometimes feel that Jack's music too often takes refuge in generic Black Sabbath-isms, however brief they might be. Still, I DO like it!  Grin
