Title: Fairport in the Charts Post by: YaBB Master (Colin) on March 15, 2006, 08:01:57 PM Here's a question?
When was the last time that a member of Fairport Convention was in both the Album and Singles top 10? Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: Barry on March 15, 2006, 08:07:43 PM Would it have been Bruce Rowland drumming with Bill Wyman?
Or Ric Sanders with All About Eve? Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: taylor on March 15, 2006, 08:12:10 PM Simon with Beverly Craven 1991 ? Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: Alex Lyons on March 15, 2006, 08:46:38 PM Or DM with Everything But The Girl
Or... Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: YaBB Master (Colin) on March 15, 2006, 08:48:00 PM Clue #1: This century
Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: Barry on March 15, 2006, 08:48:57 PM Current or past member?
Edit: Yes Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: Pugwash on March 15, 2006, 09:02:23 PM Is this a sampled recording?
Puggs Edit: Ok, this is twenty (or so) questions No Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: Dad Volt on March 15, 2006, 09:34:26 PM Maart!!
The Reel And Soul Association. Edit: No Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: JohnH on March 16, 2006, 12:49:42 AM Surely DM on one of his many sessions? Probably a reissue?
Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: Andrew on March 16, 2006, 08:20:34 AM Gerry played on Richard Ashcroft's new album. Do I win?
Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: YaBB Master (Colin) on March 16, 2006, 08:28:59 AM Gerry played on Richard Ashcroft's new album. Do I win? Yes, but that's not the point. These days it's almost impossible to come up with a question that can't be Googled. This was a very obscure fact and fun would have been had when I reveled that it was in the charts this year. If you just happen to know the answer, you could have claimed your prize by sending me an IM. Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: David W on March 16, 2006, 08:49:15 AM Gerry played on Richard Ashcroft's new album. Do I win? Yes, but that's not the point.

If you just happen to know the answer, you could have claimed your prize by sending me an IM. So what was the point then Colin? Jackdaw ???

If you just happen to know the answer, you could have claimed your prize by sending me an IM. Um, how do you know he answered the question via Google? ??? Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: YaBB Master (Colin) on March 16, 2006, 09:22:00 AM Um, how do you know he answered the question via Google? ??? I don't think he did. My point is that it's almost impossible to think of a question that a Fairport anorak will not know the answer to immediately, or can't be found on Google within seconds. So to make an interresting topic there really has to be a bit of 'playing along'. Sorry if I was a bit abrupt with Andrew. Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: Alex Lyons on March 16, 2006, 10:20:48 AM I know what you mean, Colin. I knew the answer but left it to see what guesses etc would be thrown into the mix. I was going to post a mini-teaser this morning "Animal, vegetable or mineral?" (Animal....geddit? ;D). Suppose you can't blame the lad for answering though.... :)
Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: Andrew on March 16, 2006, 10:30:47 AM Oops sorry. I didn't really want a prize. Just knew the answer, that's all. (didn't even have to google it). I thought that was the idea of the post. Sorry to spoil the fun.
Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: Jim on March 16, 2006, 12:52:48 PM Does richard ashcroft still have hit singles?
i thought his last solo album would have put an end to that malarkey i dont know whats in the top 20 these days Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: Anji on March 16, 2006, 12:55:13 PM [Sorry if I was a bit abrupt with Andrew. Blimeyheck, you're a masterful one when you unleash it, dear Lord Sir of Yabbness. {:-) Give that Andrew a prize, I say! :) Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: Keith on March 16, 2006, 02:06:02 PM You're very welcome Andrew - us more experienced Talkawhilers obviously have a direct link to Colin's brain so know the answers anyway, so we can forgive you ;)
Please don't go away - we are normally nice. Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: Jim on March 16, 2006, 05:01:00 PM speak for yourself keith
Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: Pugwash on March 16, 2006, 05:27:22 PM Yes we are Jim we're all very nice, fluffy even.
Puggs Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: Anji on March 16, 2006, 09:41:01 PM Yes we are Jim we're all very nice, fluffy even. Puggs I'm fluffy :D But **** ** ***** ;D ;D ;D That'd be a good theme for a Faiport song. A number one. 8) Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: greglin (Gregg) on April 06, 2006, 05:41:59 PM Is this a sampled recording? Puggs Edit: Ok, this is twenty (or so) questions No I'm intrigued. Have any Fairport tracks been sampled & appeared in albums by "new" artists ??? Can't imagine a hip hop version of Sir B, but then you never do know............ Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: Alex Lyons on April 06, 2006, 05:46:14 PM Groove Armada (I think) did a track based around samples from 'Autopsy' last year or the year before.
Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: KeithP on April 06, 2006, 07:23:56 PM Here's a question? When was the last time that a member of Fairport Convention was in both the Album and Singles top 10? Alright, clever Googler's - who was the last member of Fairport Convention to win an award for "Best World Music" album and for which album? The winner wins the right to ask the next obscure question. KeithP Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: Tasha on April 07, 2006, 10:53:02 AM Was it "unconventional" that won? :-\
Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: Malcolm on April 07, 2006, 11:29:17 AM Alright, clever Googler's - who was the last member of Fairport Convention to win an award for "Best World Music" album and for which album? The winner wins the right to ask the next obscure question. KeithP Only a guess, no Google or books honest, Dan ar Braz? If that bit is right, it must be something to do with Heritage des Celtes or Excalibur. Title: Re: Fairport in the Charts Post by: KeithP on April 07, 2006, 02:35:20 PM Alright, clever Googler's - who was the last member of Fairport Convention to win an award for "Best World Music" album and for which album?

If that bit is right, it must be something to do with Heritage des Celtes or Excalibur. Very good - Dan ar Braz live version of Heritage des Celts won the Victoires de la Musique award for Best World Music Album - and a brilliant album it is too. KeithP |
