I sat in for one tune (Portmeirion written by Ric Sanders / Westbury Music) with Fairport Convention on September 18, 2002 at The Knitting Factory in Hollywood, California (USA).
I had no actual rehearsals with the band, but I practiced for hours and hours at home by playing along with the studio version of the tune on the "XXXV" CD.

Dan, nice to see/hear this fateful encounter! Quite the honor. Can't make out the cheerful banter at the end... what did they say?

@chucknordy -- Dave Pegg says, "That was great. I know you're really Paul McCartney in disguise."

Excellent!
How much rehearsal were you allowed?
