If you were there, you must have many great memories. (Yes, they did follow a day of rain, and Swarb asked the Hells Angels to take him home on their motorbikes). What a festival. I remember a very electric Hot Tuna at night too, and a discarding of clothes on stage...(formerly Escrog)

This video has given me endless enjoyment over recent days. Richard Thompson is the living end but I had no idea about his early days and now I have discovered the genius of Dave Swarbrick and the humor of Simon Nicol. Just adore this video, thank you!

I've never heard any of their music on any of the oldie stations. I wonder why they never play their music?

Err this WAS recorded a long, long time ago, you figured that out right? At the time there were more hippies in the US than in the UK.
If you really are so stupid why not do yourself a favour and keep it to yourself?
a good question. ... ( 1 year ago by rogthedodger)
a good question. It's the same in the UK (assuming you're elsewhere). I think English folk and folk rock gets a bad rep and many never get to hear it. Bizarre hen RT and Simpson are so big in the US

I love this song; the lyrics are beautiful!
Wow, Richard Thompson had such lovely long curly hair, such a cute guy
sooooo talented. I know he doesn't look like that anymore but sadly none of us do. One of my favourite early Fairport songs!

Sorry, it seems I offended you (KRAKHAUS) however: what I didn't understand was your comment about nuking hippies? Maybe it upset me! (Even if it was a joke)
I try so hard not to think of your countrymen as war mongers but with this type of comment on a music site it reinforces a stereotype. Maybe you can make me think differently? Glad to see you like Fairport though. (Smiles)
Maybe they were ... ( 11 months ago by StuC5)
Maybe they were like a lot of bands that, while brilliant musically, were either ahead of their time or out just beyond the fringes of mainstream appeal ('Great album but I don't hear a single.') The only hit single I recall of theirs was a French version of Dylan's 'If You Gotta Go, Go Now'. Novelty value. They deserved much better.
I agree. I think in ... ( 10 months ago by 050261mellost)
I agree. I think in the UK, (in England anyway), its seen as okay to knock English folk music. The Scots and the Welsh have no problems celebrating, preserving and taking their musical heritage forward. Its a pity we English don't do it in so readily. Thank goodness for FC etc.

.. so why **were** the RAF at that gorgeous and sweet concert? .. Was it part of a Peace Gathering? .. or was it just a few 'Blokes' from Swindon who insist on crashing concerts .. I wonder which one was more likely?

Who's the lead singer? Ian Matthews? I'm not that familiar with all the incarnations of Fairport Convention but I'm trying to learn more.

Well, he did say it was the Army, not the RAF (maybe on one of the other clips of this event). Perhaps Chuck was a fan and pulled a few strings.
