Title: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: Edthefolkie on August 03, 2009, 10:39:25 PM Thread creep....I ought to credit Eric Hayes here for that photo on Unhalfbricking. Fantastic photter - he did the Liege and Lief shots of the band at Farley Chamberlayne which are equally atmospheric. His shots have frequently turned up uncredited, which is a bummer.
He's Canadian and presumably an aquaintance of Joe Boyd. Have a look at these Fairport shots! http://www.erichayes.ca/gallery/fc.html Title: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: PLW (Peter) on August 03, 2009, 10:54:19 PM Thread creep....I ought to credit Eric Hayes here for that photo on Unhalfbricking.

Title: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: Staffan on August 04, 2009, 08:39:47 AM Amazing photos! And Sandy with an electric guitar....
I know Anders Folke took some photos at the Barn gig, just after she had joined the band, where she plays a fender Strat (if I remember correctly). Otherwise I think itīs rather rare with photos of Sandy onstage with Fairport, playing electric. Title: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: davidmjs on August 04, 2009, 10:37:56 AM Awesome photos - thanks! God, they all look so damn cool....

Title: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: Edthefolkie on August 04, 2009, 02:36:42 PM Thanks Col for dating those photos. I had never seen them until yesterday! How many more gems are lurking about I wonder?
Anybody know what (and whose) Sandy's guitar is? It looks very large for a not very tall girl like her. Not quite a Gibson 335 is it? Gretsch? Sorry, I can just about identify a real Strat or Les Paul (or RT's Ferrington) but that's as far as I go. Title: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: davidmjs on August 04, 2009, 02:40:23 PM Amazing photos! And Sandy with an electric guitar.... I sent a link to a friend with a similar comment....and they said Sandy always played electric during the '68 shows. Anyone able to confirm that? They also pointed out she appears to be 'asleep' in the bottom of the excellent picture of Tyger.... ;) Title: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: Pugwash on August 04, 2009, 02:46:26 PM I reckon having consulted the pirate book of guitars that the one Sandy/Simon is playing is a 1960 Gibson ES175DN.
Bit of luck Simon will be along to verify ... Title: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: jude on August 04, 2009, 02:54:07 PM Bless all their little cotton socks, don't they look wonderful? ;D
Title: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: Edthefolkie on August 04, 2009, 03:07:03 PM Thanks Puggs, I knew there would be somebody with the equivalent of the Hornby Dublo Companion somewhere. It's Simon's Gibson innit, he's playing it on the other shots.
Anybody got a time machine? Again? Title: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: Col D on August 04, 2009, 03:31:52 PM The Gibson may have been RT's, he played an ES-175 until he got his Les Paul Goldtop in '68. Maybe Simon could confirm if it's the same guitar.
Title: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: Staffan on August 04, 2009, 06:07:59 PM Page 102 in the "Fairport unConventional" book and pp 12-13 in the "A Boxful of Treasures" book show Fairport at the Whittlesey Barn Dance , June 2nd 1968 with Sandy playing a Fender Telecaster (sorry!).Photo taken by Anders Folke.
It does look like Sandy is playng Simonīs guitar. Gibsonish but I do not know more... I forgot: thanks Ed for directing us to these marvellous photos! Title: Re: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: Dan O. on August 05, 2009, 12:35:34 AM The guitar in the photos being discussed is indeed a Gibson ES175 as popularised by Steve Howe of Yes.
Title: Re: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: Simon Nicol on August 05, 2009, 10:59:25 AM The guitar in the photos being discussed is indeed a Gibson ES175 as popularised by Steve Howe of Yes. Just so, as has been observed. And as also has been observed, Sandy would take it over if the song called for it in those days when acoustic guitars were not sorted enough to be amplified. If I remember correctly the timeline of guitar ownership then was Hofner V3, Grimshaw Les Paul copy, Gibson 175, Les Paul Goldtop (Mk 3 or 5), Strat. (RT) Gibson J45 Guild 12string (Sandy), Burns Tri-Sonic, Fender Telecaster Custom, Gibson 175 (the same one), Gibson L7, another Telecaster. (Me) Which takes us up to Angel Delight. Ashley mainly played Fender Precisions but certainly had a couple of flirtations with Danelectro (to which he's only recently returned) and Rickenbacker, both of which were, IMHO, triumphs of style over substance. Title: Re: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: GubGub (Al) on August 05, 2009, 11:14:45 AM Do you still have/play any of them Simon?
Title: Re: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: jOhN on August 05, 2009, 12:00:13 PM If not, do you know where they are now? Passed on, sold or recycled?
Title: Re: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: Col D on August 05, 2009, 12:14:55 PM I remember reading somewhere that RT's Goldtop passed on to John Martyn and was subsequently stolen.
Title: Re: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: Simon Nicol on August 05, 2009, 01:00:41 PM That's right. From a locked van outside a gig in NYC in 1972. Fancy that!
And no, I don't have any of them - I've never collected or kept them, usually swapping them or trading them in. Wish I still had the L7 though: that's the only one I really regret having got shot of. Maybe the J200 I had from '73 to '76 would be nice to have on the wall as well - but hey, if you don't play them, guitars go to sleep... Title: Re: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: StephenGiles on August 05, 2009, 09:39:27 PM Ah, I had a Burns Tri Sonic in the 1960s which I sold to Steve Airey - once in the Ethnic Shuffle Orchestra ::), which I believe he still has.
Title: Re: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: Neil Morrell on August 25, 2009, 12:54:09 PM This is exactly the kind of thread that causes GAS!!
Title: Re: Eric Hayes FC Photographs Post by: hurdygurdyman (Paul) on September 17, 2009, 10:34:31 AM I was always rather envious of the Rickenbacker 12 that Simon used for Run Johnny Run on the Bonny Bunch of Roses tour. They still make them - but not like that, anymore. Hope you didn't swap it for a ukelele or any other similar ephemeral impulse buy!
Concerning GAS, how many guitars does one person need? Answer - just one more. Thanks for the link to the photos, Ed.
