The British folk violinist, Dave Swarbrick, has died at the age of 75.

Renowned for his fast and furious style of playing, he was a stalwart of the folk-rock scene, and spent more than a decade as a leading member of the influential group, Fairport Convention.

Our correspondent David Sillito remembers the man, and his love for the fiddle -- an instrument he described as 'the greatest in the world'.
