All Star Fairport Convention reunion curated by Joe Boyd Barbican Hall July 18 (encore)

**************

'Meet on the ledge', the 'All Star' encore at the Fairport Convention reunion in the Barbican Hall in London (July 18 2009), with original members: Simon Nicol, Richard Thompson, Iain Matthews, Ashley Hutchings, Dave Mattacks (here replacing Martin Lamble) and Dave Pegg on bass. With Chris Leslie on fiddle.

Presenting is Joe Boyd.
In the chorus (and having fun) are Judy Dyble, Chris While, Kellie While, Linde Nijland, Kamila Thompson, Linda Thompson and Teddy Thompson.

This unique, one-off event was curated by former Fairport producer and label boss Joe Boyd and part of a series of events to celebrate the legacy of his famous Witchseason label. Songs of the first five Fairport albums were played.

I missed this one, had i known that all the Thompson's were going to be there, i would have made the effort to go, thanks for filming it, nice and clear.

[Pragjag]

Wonderful! But what could have been so important that the Whiles had to have a chat about it in the middle of the song?
