TalkAwhile - The Folk Corporation Forum

Hi!
Is there somebody that have info about the Fairport Songbook,
It´s published in 1976 by Island Music.
I have one copy that I want to put out on the market but I don´t have a clue what to sell it for.The cover is in muted browns and rusty colours, with a young lad playing a flute under a tree, sitting beside a lion.
If anyone has info or is intrested in buying please send e-mail to po.lantto@gmail.com

Hello P-O. We do generally like people to introduce themselves and participate a bit in TalkAWhile rather than doing a hit-and-run one-off advert.

Maartin Allcock has published an updated version which can be readily purchased at http://www.maartinallcock.com/shop.htm and contains (obviously) a lot more songs than the 1976 version, whomever put that out.

Hi Andy!

Sorry I didn´t introduce myself, well I´m Swedish,  in the early 50s , been a Fairport fan for 35 years almost.  Recently I started to clean out boxes on the attic and found some musicbooks that I forgot all about, included the Fairport songbook.
Have only visited one concert with Fairport, that was 1979 at Dingwalls in London during their Farewell Tour, great experince.

Ebay may well be a very good friend...  :) 8)

Welcome.I was at that gig-I think Trevor Lucas joined them for a few numbers

I managed to buy a copy from a local second hand record dealer this morning and paid £10, which I thought was a bargain.
