Dave Swarbrick

David Cyril Eric 'Dave' Swarbrick 'Swarb' nació el 5 de abril de 1941 en New Malden, Inglaterra.

Es uno de los grandes violinistas de la escena del folk inglés, fundamental en el desarrollo del folk-rock a partir de su trabajo con Fairport Convention.

Además toca la viola, la mandolina, la guitarra y canta.

Ha participado en infinidad de grabaciones y grupos destacando su paso por The Beryl Marriot Ceilidh Band, The Ian Campbell Folk Group, el dueto con Martin Carthy, su afortunada incorporación a Fairport Convention, con Whippersnapper, Alistair Hulett, Simon Nicol y Swarb's Lazarus.

El periódico Daily Telegraph publicó en 1999 un prematuro y precipitario obituario sobre Swarbrick luego de que ingresó a un hospital por una infección en el pecho, afortunadamente fue un lamentable error del diario. Después de muchos años con la salud delicada a causa de un efisema pulmonar, en octubre del 2004 recibió un doble transplante de pulmones lo que le permitió una mejora sustancial en su calidad de vida que había estado confinada a una silla de ruedas por varios años.

El 10 de agosto del 2007, Swarb se unió a un reformado Fairport Convention para tocar en vivo completo el mítico álbum Liege and Lief.

ALGO SOBRE SWAB:

© Nigel Schofield publicó en la revista Living Tradition (www.swarb.com/biography ) sobre Dave Swarbrick: "Hay muy pocos individuos que pueden abarcar los relacionados, pero a menudo conflictivos géneros del folk y el folk-rock, con el mismo respeto y reverencia para ambos. Swarb es sin duda el más visible entre ellos. Su reputación es irrefutable, sus hazañas legendarias, su influencia inconmesurable (no solo entre la fraternidad de violinistas actual de Fairport). Pero más allá de todo esto, la historia de Swarb es una historia de poder y circunstancia…"

PROGRAMACIÓN MUSICAL:

Para poder disfrutar a Swarb seleccioné Heilanman/Drowsy Maggie, del disco Swarbrick de 1978, por el excelente dueto que hace con Beryl Marriot (su tutora y quien lo convenció que tocara el violín en vez de la guitarra) al piano, en el cual se permiten tocar un par de jigs libremente, sobreponiéndose y completándose uno al otro, en una pocas veces vista combinación entre fiddle (violín folk) y piano, que ellos venían ejecutando desde los tiempos del grupo de Ian Campbell.

De Fairport Convention escogí The Eynsham Poacher una de mis piezas favoritas de Fairport que se incluye en el disco The Bonny Bunch of Roses y donde podemos escuchar a Swarb echándose al grupo al hombro en una especie de cabalgata cíclica.

En 1978, a la par de de su partida de Fairport, Swarb graba un disco como Dave Swarbrick & Friends, titulado The Ceilidh Album, en el que se hace acompañar del mismo Fairport, Beryl Marriot y algunos otros camaradas, dentro del cual destaca Merry Boys of Greenland / Olifiord Jack / Villafjord demostrando una conjunción musical a partir del divertimiento de tocar juntos.

Finalmente, a dueto con su viejo camarada Martin Carthy una exquisita balada llamada Gentleman soldier del disco Byker Hill de 1967, donde ahora el fiddle y la voz se acompañan con un ritmo que sólo lo da el tocar juntos por mucho tiempo.

[6-8] This was the happiest period in his life. All locked set fair for a career until he was stricken with sickness and invalided out of his chosen niche in life. Reluctantly and unhappily he turned to a number of menial occupations and finally returned to the services of Miss Keyes. (10.12) 03. [9-10] Tragedy now strikes hard. The world's imagination is caught by the brutal senseless of the apparent criminal who slays his kind old mistress. (3.57) 04.

The tides of fate wash him to the condemned cell where he waits three sad weeks for his last night on earth. (7.32) 05. [13-15] When it comes, he cannot sleep, but when he does, a strange, prophetic dream comes to him, and helps him to bear the strain of his next day's ordeal as scaffold and its crew try in vain three times to take his life.

Ashley Hutchings

2008-08-09T14:02:00.003-05:00

Ashley Simon Hutchings 'Tyger' nació el 26 de enero de 1945 en Southgate, Londres, Inglaterra.

Está considerado como el padrino del Folk-Rock en Inglaterra.

Siendo todavía un niño se mudó a Muswell Hill. Formó varios grupos, incluido "Dr K's Blues Band" en 1964. Cuando conoció al guitarrista Simon Nicol, ensayaban en el piso sobre el consultorio médico del padre de Nicol. La casa se llamaba "Fairport" y ese sería el nombre del grupo que juntos formarían mas tarde.

Tyger ha tenido la posibilidad de formar mas grupos que ningún otro bajista. Los mas famosos han sido Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span (formado luego que dejó a Fairport en 1970) y el siempre cambiante Albion Country Band (formado luego que dejó a Steeleye en 1971). Ha grabado varios álbumes temáticos con músicos de sesión reunidos tanto del espectro de la música folk como del rock siendo asímismo, el productor de varios de ellos.

Una serie de discos llamada The Guv'nor colecciona grabaciones raras de algunos grupos relacionados con Hutchings. En el 2004 se retira de The Albion Band y regresa como parte de un cuarteto, llamado Rainbow Chasers.

Entrevista de Bob Harris a Ashley Hutchings

Colección de discos de folk europeo

2008-04-13T20:14:00.005-05:00

Como parte de mis trabajos de curaduría musical, he preparado una colección de 400 discos LP que, transformados al formato digital voy a donar a la fonoteca de Radio Educación para reforzar el género.

Este trabajo ha sido muy rico y me he reencontrado con esta música que tanto me prende y cuyos gloriosos acetatos estaban a la espera de un buen programa para convertirlos a archivos .wav.

Raúl Núñez y El Pitufo (Toño Fernández) me descubrieron tiempo atrás el CoolEdit (Ahora AdobeAudition) que me ha ayudado a hacer la transferencia al nuevo formato.

El trabajo ha sido arduo y ha consistido en:

La selección musical (originalmente 100 títulos, después 200 y finalmente 400)
Desarrollar la versión 3.0 de Fono1060, la base de datos que utilizamos en RE para clasificar los discos y elaborar la programación musical diaria
La grabación, lado por lado, de los LPs
La separación track por track de todas las rolas de cada uno de los lados
La obtención de la portada de cada disco (a veces en internet, otras escaneando en 4 partes la original de c/LP)
Cargar la base de datos y clasificar cada pieza
Grabar en CD cada LP transferido a archivo .wav

Espero que la colección pueda ingresar a la fonoteca de Radio Educación a finales de mayo del 2009.

Mientras tanto irán apareciendo en este blog algunas de las portadas de los discos, con su intérprete y su año de producción.
