Forgive me for asking, but why?

Self -promotion / own importance?

Ah...... yes.


Title: Self Promotion?

Well, obviously. Who else promotes themselves?

Elsewhere, there isn't a SINGLE page on the entire internet that reviews every single major fairport convention album.
I'm doing that. I thought, you guys, as fans of the band, would at least be mildly interested in such a project.

Bear in mind, it's a page to be read, not a page for experts. It's a page for people who hear a song or two, who stick 'fairport convention album reviews' into google, to read. A beginners guide that's easily digestible. I have 2000 plus reviews on my site, and get a lot of stick for the simplicity of the reviews, but they are entirely debliberately that way.

Put yourself in the shows of a new fan. What would they want to read? lots of obscure references, lots of technical facts, lots of shite? Or an easily digestible page by a fan saying objectively what might be the best albums to buy now, and some others not quite so good, to buy later?

Perhaps it would have been more appropriate to follow this link ...

Then it would be easier to see why !!

What a huge database !!

Adrian has been up to this for awhile the explanation is here:

Everyone is entitled to an opinion and it seems like he is asking for them as well as giving them.
