Huw and Tony wrote some excellent songs - this has to be one of the most beautiful.

Such a lovely melody, i discovered this band on youtube.....music like this should be heard all over, especially for our youth....

[rouseg7]

I`ve followed FC since the sixties and still do but have to say they lost something with the loss of Denny, Thompson, Swarb etc. They still sound great but the guts of youth is gone and the cardigans arrived. Shame.

Magnificent, Simon.

[TheTrudilou]

I love Simon Nicol - this line up is magical. Always a brilliant night out if you are quick enough for a ticket.

[6ninian]

What a great song - Simon's voice is so perfect for it.

[LaMax61auc]

I Like the lirycs and Simon's singing/telling stories.

Great Fairport post Swarb.

Hi there,

Yes I was there at the front it was one of the best sets I've heard at Cropredy mainly because

of some of lovely Sandy Denny tributes I really enjoyed the weekend

All the best

You're putting some true gems up here! I seem to recall Fairport also performing this on GMTV at around the same time, though maybe I'm misremembering.
