 I thought that too...I have no idea what the connection was/is...perhaps someone on here with a bit more knowledge about it all (Simon?) would care to enlighten us?

He played with Peggy on the album A and the tour that followed. Don't think there is any other connection.

i think we need someone who may have been in FC when Eddie played with them.
a guitarist perhaps, to verify Eddies claim

SIMON??

I thought that was referring to the one-off gig in Russia where I understand he sat in with them:

The first band I played with was Fairport Convention.   I cannot tell you what a great bunch of guys they all are... the sweetest group of musicians on the planet.   I couldn't have been more embraced (figuratively and literally).   And what a thrill for me to play music from "Full House"—the first album (of three particular albums) to pull me from classical music into electric music when I was 15!

Quite right...not quite sure what Jim thinks is being implied?

And I bet Pete Frame is striking Eddie Jobson off his Christmas Card list as we speak...

Can't find any film of Jobson's appearance with Fairport at the Creation of Peace Festival this year (though I'm not sure there's any reason to doubt it), but here's the original link: Peggy and Eddie playing in Jethro Tull's 'A' lineup in 1981.

I like "A"!


Me, too. But I always wished I could have heard the rhythm section of Pegg and Barrie Barlow.

Excellent - thanks Simon.  Was it recorded?  Officially, I mean...

I'll second that - AFAIK the only thing Tull ever recorded with Peggy on bass plus Barlow/Evans/Palmer was "King Henry's Madrigal". I once found some low-quality bootleg-type live footage of the band taken during the "Stormwatch" tour on YouTube, but other than that, recordings of that particular (short-lived) lineup seem somewhat scarce.
