Fairport Convention Performing "Meet on the Ledge" from the Winter Tour 2009

The current line up of Fairport Convention with guests Ken Nicol and Phil Cool performing one of the most enduring folk rock anthems of all time "Meet on the Ledge". This very song and the band Fairport Convention is and at the very heart of why folking.com exists at all and continues to be a strong inspiration as to why it continues. Recorded by Darren Beech at the Farnham Maltings, Farnham, Surrey as part of the Fairport Convention Winter tour. Recorded in February 09 on behalf of Fairport Convention and Folking.com.

Re the comment about Sandy, I have heard Simon sing this for so many years now that it seems strange to listen to Sandy singing the original. Simon sings some of the Sandy songs very well, particularly "Who knows where the time goes."

Also agree that the lads deserve knighthoods- RT got an OBE last year so you never know!

ive seen this band starting in 1970 and across the years and still see them  -if wer'e there we survived didnt we! Awesome

Actually I think this is a verry good version of an almost unsingable song

I find it completely impossible to listen to this without thinking that without the wonderful voice of Sandy Denny it is not the real thing.

Thanks for that: memories of a great evening though your view better than ours (we were at the Hunstanton performance but up in the 'circle'). All these great guys should have knighthoods.

It all comes round again....
