Martin Carthy & Dave Swarbrick

Camp Bestival are extremely proud to welcome two true legends of English folk music. 

As head of the Carthy/Waterson dynasty Martin has been one of folk music greatest innovators trailblazing a path that has seen him record over 40 albums as a solo performer, with folk rock giants Steeleye Span, with his award winning daughter and most importantly for us with Dave Swarbrick.

Over the last 40 years Dave has been revered as folk’s finest fiddler, a man possessed of an astonishing  talent that is unrivalled in the world of music.

Together, playing live they are an stoppable force and if you have even a passing interest in the world and history of folk music there really is no better pair of performers on the planet.
