Title: Fairport for Glastonbury 2017? Post by: trewin on June 24, 2015, 09:57:29 AM As the Stones celebrated their 50th anniversary topping the bill & this weekend The Who are topping the bill to celebrate their 50th will Fairport be invited likewise in 2017?

Post by: Diggers71 on June 25, 2015, 12:45:24 PM I'm no expert on Fairport so far as I'm only just discovering their music, so a wee bit of help is required...
The famous footage of Fairport playing Dirty Linen (I think) at Glastonbury in '71 - what was the line up at that time? I can recognise Swarbrick and Mattacks of course but is Pegg playing bass?
