Title: Fairport @ 50 Vote - Outside Writer Post by: GubGub (Al) on March 05, 2017, 10:37:02 AM Focus seems to be very much on the early cover versions here rather than on later original material written for the band by outsiders.
Two votes each. Poll closes, Friday lunchtime. Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Vote - Outside Writer Post by: Shane (Skirky) on March 06, 2017, 11:23:22 AM 'Outside' writer..? *waves order paper, demands recount* ;D [;-)

I never knew that... Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Vote - Outside Writer Post by: Chris on March 06, 2017, 11:40:34 AM And Ralph claims it as his own too.
Maybe DM had inmput into Fairport's *version* of it? Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Vote - Outside Writer Post by: Shane (Skirky) on March 06, 2017, 11:40:41 AM I suspect that DM's contribution was the keyboard intro on the original. Still... ::)
Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Vote - Outside Writer Post by: GubGub (Al) on March 06, 2017, 01:11:14 PM You have just reminded me that I was going to disallow The Hiring Fair for this very reason but I forgot. Oh well, too late now. I am not re-setting the vote for a third time! ::)
Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Vote - Outside Writer Post by: Phil Perry on March 07, 2017, 10:31:32 AM And what about somebody who was a member of FC - like RT who has had songs covered that he had not written at the time he was in the band ... Anyway, I am choosing Percy's Song - Sandy & Ian's voices in perfect unison.
Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Vote - Outside Writer Post by: GubGub (Al) on March 07, 2017, 10:50:44 AM And what about somebody who was a member of FC - like RT who has had songs covered that he had not written at the time he was in the band Yes, we had that discussion on the nomination thread. In the end they were disallowed on a technicality. Otherwise How Many Times & The Poor Ditching Boy would both have been right up there for me in their respective categories. But it starts to get confusing then. Do you allow Cropredy recordings of Fairport playing One Way Donkey Ride for example? Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Vote - Outside Writer Post by: Greg on March 07, 2017, 11:09:27 AM I suspect that DM's contribution was the keyboard intro on the original. Still... ::) I have a feeling I read somewhere that he wrote the whole of the middle section (or at least the chord sequence for it - not sure he wrote the violin part!). Think he did the same with Bring 'Em Down as well (but less certain about that one). Talented man (although, IMO, I'd prefer an acoustic piano to the 80s electric sound they used). Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Vote - Outside Writer Post by: GubGub (Al) on March 10, 2017, 01:09:51 PM On the basis that DM gets a co-writing credit and Hiring Fair has already succeeded elsewhere, I declare Time Will Show The Wiser the winner here! ;)
Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Vote - Outside Writer Post by: Greg E on March 10, 2017, 01:24:52 PM listening to it now, so no, Hiring Fair defo the winner :)
Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Vote - Outside Writer Post by: Chris on March 10, 2017, 02:16:24 PM sorry, you should have disbarred Hiring Fair on discovery, not after the vote. How many might have voted otherwise? Hiring Fair wins it
Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Vote - Outside Writer Post by: Joss on March 10, 2017, 03:24:47 PM Well I Know I'm a bit slow but I cannot see where to cast a vote on any of these threads? The headline says they close 11th March which is tomorrow, but i can't find any voting buttons (or whatever the method is) anywhere - Help please!
Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Vote - Outside Writer Post by: Tasha on March 10, 2017, 03:30:55 PM Sorry Joss its closed thats why you can't see....
Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Vote - Outside Writer Post by: Joss on March 10, 2017, 03:33:12 PM Oh, the top line says: "Question: Your Favourite Song Written by Someone from Outside of the Band (Voting closes: March 11, 2017, 10:37:02 AM)"
Today is March 10 2017. Ah well !! Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Vote - Outside Writer Post by: GubGub (Al) on March 10, 2017, 03:36:57 PM But the narrative says Poll closes. Friday lunchtime.
The other time is system generated but did not fit with my own plans. Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Vote - Outside Writer Post by: Brendan on March 10, 2017, 03:42:05 PM Another worthy winner I think I voted for the top 2 again!
Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Vote - Outside Writer Post by: Polly Oxford (Andie) on March 11, 2017, 05:35:28 PM Dearly as I love Hiring Fair, I wish I'd got to the suggestions list before it closed. No Steve Tilston or Steve Ashley nominations?
