The way that none of the molecules composing your cororeal body are the the same ones that composed you when you were sixteen is the way that this Fairport Convention are the same group that first performed Matty Groves in 1969.

Awful drumming! Bring back DM!!!!

That must be Chris. I have seen him play a guitar before but only on a DVD.
-
What an absolute load of shit. And this was supposed their signature tune! Stick to Steeleye Span and don't waver!!!!

Sorry....I think u gotta keep an open mind if u have a taste in music and Ric is different but by no means worse than Swarb.
But this recording is terrible. Watch the Cmbridge FlkFest one and it much better. But having heard it live during the 08 winter tour I thought it was incredible!

You are so right - this is cr*p.
Regretably I paid to see Fairport in Sussex'08 - never again! Face it guys, you have no voice, no drummer and NO SWARB! The word is pedestrian.

This is very close in spirit to the version I hav



TTL were indeed the support for the 2006/7 winter tour but I dont recall fairport listing the brook as gig on this tour as we go to most of the southern ones, the last time we saw them at the brook was 2004/5 tour when we were sat in the same place as the camera is located in this video. are you sure the dates are correct. we remember the gig as it was my wifes birthday on feb 12th.

I think it was "Best Wishes", but I'm not familiar with that track so I couldn't say, but I don't think anyone came on with them. TTL joined them for the second encore of "Meet on the Ledge"
