Title: Fairport Parodies Post by: Sir Martin on March 07, 2007, 10:11:47 AM I really like the humerous in music, and got to wondering how many parodies of Fairport songs, or songs recorded by Fairport?
Fatty Groves by The Kipper Family is probably the gold standard*; A Murder Ballad by Mrs Ackroyd Band also 'quotes' Matty Groves, and; Dipsticks and Seals (Slip Jigs and reels) by the same artist qualifies. Any others? * When the Kippers supported Whipersnaper at Darlington Arts centre, a very pissed off looking Swarb appeared round the curtain as they performed this, much to the amusement of the audience.

Title: Re: Fairport Parodies Post by: Barry on March 07, 2007, 12:57:08 PM Personally I wouldn't give him house room. Don't find him funny at all. But I'm in a minority.
Title: Re: Fairport Parodies Post by: Tasha on March 07, 2007, 01:03:14 PM I have the feeling i won't like him which is why up 'till now i haven't even considered it- It was seeing his name mentioned here that made me wonder. :-\

See him Tasha.. go with an open mind.. you can't say you don't like him til you see him.. He makes me laff.. a lot!! Agreed - some of the humour is very clever, some of it falls on its face, but better then a night by the telly watching CSI:Middlesbrough or whatever they are up to nowadays.
