Title: Ric Grech in Fairport Post by: Phil Perry on September 27, 2019, 04:49:02 PM Ric Grech, (from Family) who you can hear on the Heyday CD. Does anyone know if this pre-dates Swarb's first guest appearance? If so, it would make "Ric" FC's very first fiddler!

Can't be arsed to look it up though. Jules Title: Ric Grech in Fairport Post by: RobertD on September 27, 2019, 04:58:32 PM And I believe Martin Lamble also played on something. I remembered Grech as well, but was only counting the members of Fairport itself.

My decrepit middle aged brain can't recall what it was, mind...

My decrepit middle aged brain can't recall what it was, mind... I think when they did Bridge Over The River Ash there was at least one viola, so that sounds true. And that promo clip of the Nine lineup doing Polly On The Shore has Swarb on viola as well. They're all fiddles to me though! ;D Title: Ric Grech in Fairport Post by: Paul on September 27, 2019, 10:34:38 PM Ric Grech, (from Family) who you can hear on the Heyday CD.

They performed Bridge of the River Test or Itchen when I saw them at Southampton University. I was there, and thought I would never see them again.

I remembered Grech as well, but was only counting the members of Fairport itself. Maybe it was Martin I was thinking of - that rings a bell. Jeez, you'd think one of us would know. I blame ageing braincells.

Paul That is preserved for posterior on the the Farewell, Farewell album, isn't it?

Thank you, Jude. If in doubt, you can often rely on someone who was actually there!
