Title: Favourite Tunes to Play? Post by: Dave Russell on October 12, 2006, 09:52:39 PM Hi Peggy, hope all's well with you.
What's your take on playing new material vs. old favourites? Any blasts from the past which you still get a real kick out of playing? Cheers, Doc Title: Re: Favourite Tunes to Play? Post by: peggy on October 14, 2006, 10:17:38 AM Hi Doc.Hope you are well and the bands doing good. I enjoyed playing with you at Middlewich. We start recording monday so have a lot of new tunes to tackle and I"m pleased to say that theres some really interesting stuff to get our teeth into.
I always think that any band with a history (39 years in Fairports case!) has an obligation to play old stuff from time to time. I enjoy the current line ups adaptations of previously recorded F.C. material. We have a great version of "Tam Lin' and are considering "Polly on the shore" which is a track I am particularly proud of as I wrote all the music for it. But don't worry, we won't be bringing "Hungarian Rhapsody" back. The great thing about being old is that all our old material sounds new to me! Best wishes to the chaps cheers, Peggy.

Simon on Strat and duelling fiddles on the instrumentals? / D Title: Re: Favourite Tunes to Play?

I learnt all the words and my brother sister and I "performed" it to my bemused parents. Well I was only 10! ;D ;D
