Title: Fairport influence

I love The Leisure Society. And they must have been listening to a lot of Steve Tilston and/or Fairport. Does this remind anyone else of anything?

Anna Ryder I would say The Crowd - I too have discovered the Leisure Society and rather like them, quirky in a Divine Comedy way.

These guys are great, would fit right in at Croppers, But I would say that as Nick Hemming is a local lad (Burton on trent).

Indeed they would Mark and Angela. I'm surprised no one else has spotted the similarity here though.
