  • 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."

  • So whats the story with song and "little musgrave"??

  • Is it Ric Sanders who's taken over after Dave Swarbrick in Fairport now? Who knows such??

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