From a program called Celebration (Granada TV, UK) in August 1981. This featured the then-disbanded Fairport Convention reformed for the occasion - the Full House line-up plus Linda Thompson, and brass band in this case.

The song is the title track of the Thompsons' classic 1974 album.

Yes, the video quality is crap but unfortunately, I'm yet to see any better!

  • Perfection! Linda most definitely looks pregnant. And quite beautiful. Richard seems content to let Linda get the spotlight. This clip is truly a treasure! Thanks for posting!

  • A couple-a' drunken knights rolling on the floor, is just the kind of mess I'm-a lookin' for.

  • Thank you for the memory good times

  • Yikes, what a treasure! Thanks so much for posting! That brass section, oh man, who's tried that on a rock record in thirty years? Awesome.

  • wonderful

    

  • after checking the Wiki entry, she may very well have been. As it says, Kamila was just born when Richard left. Allowing for a little hyperbole, that puts us into 1982 at most.

  • I'm reminded of the liner notes in her best of where she said that, by the time she recorded this, she just wanted to see the bright lights of the delivery room. She almost looks pregnant here again.

  • I remember seeing this at the time.

  • Excellent stuff! And a very youthful looking Mike Harding as MC, into the bargain! ;-)

  • absolute treasure!  this is as english as it gets !
