Dave Swarbrick & Simon Nicol : 6:55 Special (1982)

6:55 Special was a program on BBC TV, and ran from 1982 to 1983. It was hosted by Sally James and David Soul, the latter took up residence in the UK to film the series and eventually became a British Citizen in 2004. In this episode, Dave Swarbrick and Simon Nicol (playing as a duo in the brief hiatus when Fairport Convention wasn’t a working unit) perform a couple of the regular instrumental medleys in their set. 00:00 Humours Of Cappa / Swallowtail Reel 03:10 79th’s Farewell / Atholl Highlanders / De’il in the Kitchen This video was originally on another channel which has sadly been taken down altogether by YouTube. I’m only putting it up here now because of that very unfortunate event, as it definitely deserves to be seen, but I claim no credit for it.
