personally, i think that Richard Thompson should move back here complete a tour and then re-join Fairport, he is a hell of a guitarist and Fairport are still awesome but he made them a great band and he looked happier when he came back to cropredy 2007 then any other gigs that i have seen!

The original is unbeatable, but this version isn't bad, stop whining people.

Just kidding. Looked as if a good time was had by all. Wish I'd have been there.

@SlightlySusan OLDER men like to hide their bellies and big butts. Well they think it hides them. What's up with the Guy/Gal in the sweaty blue T-shirt. I enjoy that ballad but I couldn't understand all of his singing. Must have been late on a hot day...you know how pawpaw gets in hot weather.

I think the lead singer gives lie to the idea (held by me) that men of a certain age are unattractive. I like Earnest Hemingway types. Just wish he hadn't worn a Hawaiian shirt. Jeez Louise! Why is that men of certain age wear them? Oh, well, at least he doesn't have a soul patch.

sandy denny and wee musgrave must be laughing at this lame singing. Just because it's 'folk', mate, doesn't mean you should be so thoroughly devoid of vocal talent!

Although the holiday in the song is not specified, internal evidence would suggest it was the local Cabbage Festival. We know this from the second verse:
"...she cast her eyes about
and there she spied little Matty Groves
walking through the kraut."

This is a pretty cool live version. I've seen these guys live and they're simply amazing.
