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

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

Teddy Thompson sings 'Genesis Hall' at the 'All Star' Fairport Convention reunion in the Barbican Hall in London (July 18 2009), with 5 original members of the legendary band: Simon Nicol, Richard Thompson, Iain Matthews, Ashley Hutchings and Dave Mattacks (here replacing Martin Lamble) and Kellie While on backing vocals.

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.

fucking hit it teddy, hit it. It can be notoriously difficult to get the Barbican to rock, but if anybody's managed it yet, you guys did

I was lucky enough to be there that night and will never forget the emotional atmosphere this concert created - especially on the pre Liege & Lief material.

this was a fantastic evening, great versions of superb songs. even the stand-ins for Sandy Denny did their job very well.
