Unbelievable. Brought to tears by a song I've never heard that is 38 years old.

The girl at 1:50 in this video is stunningly beautiful! Whoever shot this was a great docementarian. I wish, wish, wish that more video of FP from this time existed. As a bluegrass player here in the states, I can feel the connection to this music. English/Scot/Irish settlers brought this stuff straight over to Appalachians. Many of these tunes have descendants in mountain and bluegrass music.

What's there not to love about the "whiskey vocals" and Swarb pulling on a cigarette between verses? IMHO this FC roster was occasionally equaled but never, ever bettered!

very good ;- loved these guys especially their earlier stuff.

After Sandy Denny left, people reckoned that no-one in the band would be able to sing.
I think that Swarbrick, and the others, proved them to be very wrong!
I was there when they filmed this - my parents took me there. I believe it was Moat Park. I was 10 years old and had no idea who Fairport were but I loved their set and became a fan at a very young age.
Happy days!

@gte2000 It was Oakwood Park behind St Simon Stock school. I was there too!

Can anyone make out what Thompson says before the first copter takes off?

This is what they play requests for on 'Two Way Family Favourites', I hope you're ashamed!
'Two Way Family Favourites' was a record request show that played records requested by the families of British forces stationed abroad.
