Title: Fairport tribute band... Post by: RichardH on June 29, 2007, 09:35:29 PM This may have been done before. There may already be one . But, inspired by Shameless Quo and Ded Zeppelin etc, how about:
Fairport Conversion Fairport Contention Fairport Confusion But most of all I like (as they say) Fairport Subversion Over to you... Title: Re: Fairport tribute band... Post by: Goaty on June 30, 2007, 07:39:49 AM Beer-bought Confusion

Title: Re: Fairport tribute band... Post by: PLW (Peter) on July 01, 2007, 09:52:17 AM The trick is sometimes to name the band after a song. My cousin has a Eurythmics tribute act called "Sweet Dreams".
So on that basis. . . Title: Re: Fairport tribute band... Post by: davidmjs on July 01, 2007, 09:59:30 AM Title: Re: Fairport tribute band...

Title: Re: Fairport tribute band... Post by: Chris on July 01, 2007, 10:54:22 AM Was that a Fairport number?
Title: Re: Fairport tribute band... Post by: NeilMcLaughlin on July 01, 2007, 12:50:48 PM Was that a Fairport number? I think you'll find "that" to be a word known as a pronoun, and not a number at all. ;) Title: Re: Fairport tribute band... Post by: Andy on July 01, 2007, 03:26:08 PM "Matty On The Ledge"

Post by: AndyCarter on July 02, 2007, 10:38:46 AM If it was a tribute band mainly concentrating on the Liege & Lief to Full House period and they wore authentic clothing of the period they could be called Flaresport Convention.........
........I'll get my (Afghan) coat Title: Re: Fairport tribute band... Post by: RichardH on July 02, 2007, 08:56:05 PM And, next question: having named your band, who would you be?
I suspect that for a lot of blokes of a certain age and hairstyle, it is possible to do a creditable impression of Mr Nicol or Mr Pegg and with a certain amount of guitar knowledge produce an albeit second rate imitation of their musical styles. But the problem would be the fiddlers. Are they simply inimitable? And just like nobody does the young Elvis it would be difficult to do the young RT. But then I suspect the current RT is pretty impossible.... Title: Re: Fairport tribute band... Post by: Ollie on July 02, 2007, 09:12:44 PM I'd be Chris, even though I can't play fiddle (i could learn) ::)

Title: Re: Fairport tribute band... Post by: Anna on July 02, 2007, 11:42:12 PM You'd make a good Simon, Andy.
I'd need a sex change and lots of fiddle/mando/singing lessons... Hey ho. Title: Re: Fairport tribute band... Post by: Jules Gray on July 03, 2007, 09:10:39 AM I'm over 6 foot and I sing pretty deep, so I'll dye my hair and be Trevor.

Title: Re: Fairport tribute band... Post by: Jules Gray on July 03, 2007, 02:55:51 PM I'll be Swarb. You'll have to become Small Dave first! And can you chain smoke and fiddle at the same time? Or will you be post-smoking Swarb? Jules Title: Re: Fairport tribute band... Post by: Big Dave on July 03, 2007, 03:01:37 PM I'll be Swarb. You'll have to become Small Dave first!

Post by: Shameless FolkRocker on July 14, 2007, 02:07:50 PM What about 'Carport Extension' ? :D
Title: Re: Fairport tribute band... Post by: PLW (Peter) on July 19, 2007, 01:23:52 PM What about 'Carport Extension' ? :D Blimey. It all comes round again. See Simon's contribution on page one. Title: Re: Fairport tribute band... Post by: Waterloo Wonderer on July 19, 2007, 01:48:06 PM What about It all comes round again?

The Ledge! :D Title: Re: Fairport tribute band... Post by: Ollie on July 19, 2007, 05:18:42 PM Then there's the RT/Travis tribute band...'Why Does It Always Rain On Me?' ;)
Title: Re: Fairport tribute band... Post by: Andy on July 19, 2007, 09:19:35 PM Actually, Ollie, it seldom rains on RT - he's on a covered stage. It's the rest of us that suffer from the presence of the Rain God.
Title: Re: Fairport tribute band... Post by: MarkV on July 20, 2007, 06:50:12 AM RT & Rain example 1: Guilfest 2007. Al very sunny day with occasional cloud. With in minutes of RT's set starting it rained, albiet for only a very short time and but it did rain, and it was the only time it did that day.
If it wasnt rain, it must have come from the aircraft flying over on thier way to Londo Heathrow or Gatwick :o |
