FAIRPORT CONVENTION - MATTY GROVES

[paragongzzz]

have been across the pond to Cropredy and the guests they get are amazing-saw Mattacks sit in (dueling fiddles!) and richard thompson sit in and Judy Dyble (Sandy's predessessor on vocals) and they always do a "sandy set" where a guest female vocalist sings sandy's parts on classic tunes!

Ok version but nothing will ever overtake the beautiful, melifluous tones of Sandy Denny

wish they would bring mattacks back, as good a jez is

@FairportMatty Agreed. I would like them to do the twin drummer thing again. Then Dave could do his keyboard thing with drums. I'd also like to see Chris Leslie and Marin Alcock together for a sort of twin guitar/mandolin/mandola/bazook­i type thing. But then they're probably sick of that whole huge band thing these days.

I did love the rockier versions of this with Alcock, and he and Leslie together, yes I totally agree!

[conansdog]

@FairportMatty Sorry I realise I've typed the word 'thing' three times in a desperate attempt to look like a groovy young thing as opposed to the boring old fart that I actually am.

[FairportMatty]
