Martin Carthy & Dave Swarbrick
"The Cutty Wren"
Martin Carthy: Guitar / Vocals
Dave Swarbrick: Fiddle
(piano: Jonathan Cohen)
From "Chips With Everything"
Written by Arnold Wesker
Producer: Ronald Smedley
First broadcast: BBC1 30 September 1969
BBC For Schools production of Arnold Wesker’s 1962 play examining attitudes to class in post-war Britain. Despite the credit (which appears on-screen, but not in the original Radio Times listing), Swarbrick doesn’t actually sing, but more customarily accompanies Carthy’s vocals and guitar on a short (2:14) rendition of ‘The Cutty Wren’, which, as far as I can tell, is the only available version of this song by the duo in any form.
The play was originally broadcast in three parts, but Carthy and Swarbrick only appear briefly in Part 2. The other parts were broadcast: Part 1: 23 September 1969 (repeated 24 September); Part 3: 7 October 1969 (repeated 8 October 1969)
