Title: Fairport? What do you think?

This is a photo from the FC fansite. It says 'Dave Swarbrick, Simon Nicol, Dave Pegg'. That's definately Peggy, but I don't think that it's Swarb or Simon. Swarb looks more like Mark (of this parish) and Simon looks like Ashley Hutchings. What do you think?

It certainly is, but Simon does have an 'air of' young Ashley about him doesn't he!  Nice photo... Must be '77 ish?

You're right Bill, Peggy has that "careful mate, you'll have someone's eye out like that" expression on his face.

Better that than a bowed double bass though eh? That would hurt.

I meant the prospect of a bow in the knackers is not to be taken lightly

No, you're all wrong. The two blokes on the left are the Gallagher brothers. It was taken during Dave Pegg's short but legendary spell in Oasis, when that band was going through its experimental folk rock period. Anyone remember their legendary set at Sidmouth crca 1989?
