[wilsonthenext]

i´m new on youtube.....i put much on my playlist the last days....maybe one don´t like lego..... but the sound of this clip is better than many others.....thanks a lot for sharing...

[astapler]

An unforgettable weekend. I'll never be able to hear this song again without seeing the lego man doing the back stroke across the lake.

[maidenfreek]

this is awersom its egsactly how folk shood be played its like goin2 a pub n watchin a gig is brilliant!! god bless Fairport!!!

[c3o15l12z26]

The group have become such a public loving group that they can pull this off. A FC concert wouldn't be an FC concert without the guys mucking about! This is a one off thing that will never work a second time round and next year it'll be something different. These guys are crazy and we love them for that! I wish I'd been there! maybe next year :) Thanks for posting!

[kirinclassic]

Awful. Nicol and Pegg have turned what used to be a "Supergroup" into a laughingstock. Laughter DURING Matty Groves??? Since when was this story a comedy?

Fairport are so far diluted from their origin, it's saddening.

[fonzleclay]

You know what the 2 of them r like, especially peggy, they just wanted a little bit of fun. It's probably the last time they'll ever use lego. Everyone seemed 2 like it anyway!

[olimandolin]

I doubt FC would have done this if they hadn't done the 'serious' version with the Liege and Lief line-up the night before.

[ulfskjol]

Where's your sense of humour? I think your lack of that is the most saddening thing here..

[dododung]

They do plenty of balads. Nothing wrong with a bit of humour. U dont like it? put ur fingers into ur ears and close ur eyes for a bit!

[StockportUK]

thanks for doing this.Stunning weekend all round-no hassle, no crap-just a brilliantly friendly weekend and long may it comtinue. I had a look at some 1985 cropredy programmes and didn't realise I'd seen some people. Gordon Giltrap, Kathryn Tickell , Jon Strong.Only eight months to go eh?????

Regards and best wishesto all Fairporters- see ya at the bar!!

[sarkybstard]

Thanks for this.

Almost best part of the weekend - certainly the funniest.

Anybody know if they're releasing it on the dvd?

[tamahay]

A terrific moment, and one to be treasured for ever! Well done for capturing it, and with sound!!

[kirstylh]

Xcellent, thankyou, what a fantastic weekend one never to forget...

[omallyster]

Brilliant! One of those 'I was there and I wish I'd recorded it' moments.

Thanks a million! :)

[gorramdoll]

[fairport110]
