such a great band!

[surreal12]

... t'aint Swarb though, is it .... :-(

[coramunroe]

Gosh, what amazing lyrics...absolutely perfect

[Fibbing01]

Yes, they are lovely lyrics, but the band didn't write them. They're traditional, so nobody knows quite who wrote them.

[coramunroe]

Yeah, I know...Fairport didn't write half their songs, but the use of traditional material makes them cool =)

[coramunroe]

Also I think I was talking about how they were sung, not the words themselves - my bad.

[woodenpudden]

you should listen to Peggy Gordon by Luke Kelly, same air different lyric, class aswell

[Matrite]

Chris is doing such a great job. I am really glad to see him in Fairport. I saw them last in Boston in 04.

[beefoneeto]

Is that Swarbrick on the right? Always loved this song.Beautiful.Now I'd like to hear Journeyman & Wizard Of The Worldly Game. :)

[johnnysaint]

It's Chris Leslie.

[hmsscarab]

'Swarbrick's lead vocal version' is on 'Angel Delight' track 7 - listen and compare; 26 years apart. Both brilliant!

[johnnyrafter]

maybe, just maybe, the best song ever. cheers to whoever put this on
