In 2006 Fairport Convention celebrated the 35th anniversary of their iconic folk-rock album "Liege and Lief". (Full Fairport Info at: www.free-reed.co.uk) At the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards they received a special Award celebrating their 1969 classic as the 'most influential folk record of all time': and at Cropredy Festival, received a Gold Disc for 1 Million sales of the Album: the original Line-up was on stage at the Awards: Simon, RT, Ashley, Swarb, Dave Mattacks (and with Chris While singing the part of the late Sandy Denny) -- and you can view a video of the 1969 line-up's superb version of 'Matty Groves' at the Folk Awards at www.free-reed.co.uk/liege.

  • Did you turn the camera off for a moment because you thought it had finished? <.<

  • Caught me out! Yep - sorry about the edit! neil W

  • awesome! doesn't sound to far off from the original!

  • Thanks Jeff! Chris While does a really feisty vocal, and RT/Swarb play so well together! Done on a Canon Digital Camera, after a bottle of wine or two! Neil

  • Swarb is *the* best fiddler, FACT ;)

    No really, he's superb. Respect.

  • Wee bit surprised that none of ye acknowledge the fiddler... Yer man Swabrick... Without whom all of this would be nothing...

  • nigger

  • Thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting this clip... One of my all time favourites.

  • I love the way just before swarbs first fill RT moves across the stage so the battle can commence!

  • Chris does well, but she lets it get too talky at times, and too bluesy (never thought I see myself write that!) at others.

    Her voice is great, don't get me wrong. I can't think of anyone alive who has a better voice for this. OK, Julianne Regan, possibly...

    But the way Chris decides to sing the song is not entirely to my taste. Only about 90% ;)

  • love them! :)
