Fairport Convention - Seventeen Come Sunday

[proudaltome]

Love the goofy Morris dancers (is there any other kind?) A bit of fun, which is how folksters should be.

[HammerOvThor]

Most awkward thing I've ever seen.

[Northernspotter101]

Woodworm studios is this were the woodworm bop came from ?

[yugster78]

this version totally sucks compared to Carthy and Wartersons version Go and set fire to your gonads in shame!!

[ambracinque]

Wonderful music! Greetings from Italy.

[Fergyguitar]

Great band, although I haven't seen them for a while. I agree that they are terribly approachable, I had a great afternoon drinking with Peggy in the Half moon in Putney before a gig years ago. Nice guys and great musicians.

[Baruchyoseph8]

Wonderful.

[DisgustingArsehole]

I was always led to believe this was an Irish song from hearing the also excellent Bothy Band version, however I recognize the tune here from Vaughan Williams' suite of English folk songs so I guess it must be English!

[roachnumber1]

I was in the audience when they filmed that fantastic band to go see live.

I remember everyone chanting " you fat bastard" to the direcer, ken russell, while he was trying to "direct" 30,000 drunken fans

[Stevewoodworm]

I bought that house (and studio) from Dave Pegg. It's still open!

[jammedvalve]

This is great - I play this in a brass band and it's one of my favourites. Is this version available on a CD?

[jnorman737]

Yes, it's on Fairport Convention's Live 1997 Cropredy 3-CD set called

"The Cropredy Box - Old Boys XVI 1997 season" It also includes the famous tape recording of the April Fool joke that Simon played on Swarb - well worth buying it just for that.......

[LadybirdGryphon]

They are also very friendly and approachable - and they appreciate their fans. Ric (fiddler) actually asks about my family when I see him - I don't know how he can remember all that info, except that he cares.

[Wolfsonian]

@LadybirdGryphon I'll second that. I've spoken at length with Ric and Chris, and they're both diamond geezers. Both were tremendously generous with their time before a gig some years ago, encouraging my daughter to carry on with playing the violin. She's still playing! And they remembered her the next year, too ....

[LadybirdGryphon]

Fairport has been my favourite band since I was 15 - and that was a long, long, time ago, considering they've been together nearly 40 years. And it shows - their instrumental arrangements are brilliant, and their harmonies superb! I love, love, love this band, and would recommend anyone to give them more of a listen.

[corpsemunger]

[Sorrowarrior]

Beginning: To a recording studio where ?????? ... Yeah.. I don't understand what's going on with this video, but it's a pretty cool song nonetheless.

[sirpatrickspens]

Woodworm Studios in Oxfordshire, owned at the time by Dave Pegg (FC bass player).
