Title: Excalibur DVD Post by: Barry on November 16, 2005, 08:25:24 AM Exciting news from Ian and Stephanie at Musikfolk:
"Fairport Convention, Alan Simon, Roger Hodgson etc - Excalibur - DVD - we are in the middle of negotiating to import stock from France. More details to follow." I didn't even know that it was available as a DVD. Last time I e-mailed Alan Simon he said that there were no plans to release it in this format. (Currently listed on Amazon France at €19.99) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Edit: Two separate posts about the Excaliber DVD at the same time. I've merged them into one...

Have just watched it again. It's also nice because it comes with the live CD. And Alan Simon has a nice French accent... Jen Title: Re: Excalibur DVD Post by: tony the roundhead on December 19, 2005, 03:51:01 PM According to the FNAC website they have a shop in Brest, but I've never found it. Is it new?
Title: Re: Excalibur DVD Post by: Folkie (Jen) on December 19, 2005, 04:59:35 PM There is a FNAC in Brest. It is in espace jaures and not very big.
I tried finding the DVD in there but it's just so confusing. Why can't they have DVDs separate from CDs??? J Title: Re: Excalibur DVD Post by: tony the roundhead on December 19, 2005, 06:05:41 PM My copy arrived this evening but I'm saving it for Christmas.
