Title: A Box Of Pegg’s Question Post by: RobertD on April 20, 2022, 04:00:57 PM Though I missed out on A Box Of Pegg's the first time around I noticed it available on Itunes recently at a very affordable price, even when taking into consideration all the tracks I already have. I had a question regarding two particular tracks however, that maybe someone with the booklet can answer for me. First is though it clearly is the 'Nine' lineup, does anyone know anything about the track Pick Me Up? Has there ever been a studio version and if not, why not! That could have had some airplay I'm willing to bet IMHO. The second question is simply what year and where was the version of Instrumental Medley '85 recorded? Based on the crowd noise I would guess Cropredy but is really such a standout performance from Peggy. Thanks in advance.

Sandy Denny also recorded the Haworth-penned Moments after hearing him perform it.

More things to explore...it never ends! Title: Re: A Box Of Pegg’s Question Post by: Graham B on April 21, 2022, 10:15:29 AM Instrumental Medley 85 was recorded live at Cropredy in 1992.
The booklet says "This was the second number in Fairport's epic two night set for their 25th anniversary Cropredy. On July 26, less than three weeks before the festival, Ric Sanders had an unfortunate encounter with a plate glass window, which left him incapable of playing the fiddle. Enter Chris Leslie who is heard on this track'.

More things to explore...it never ends! For the last 30 or so years Bryn has been heavily involved in the Christian scene and his concerts became very evangelistic particularly towards the end of a set. Still plenty of good music whatever your inclination. Title: Re: A Box Of Pegg’s Question Post by: RobertD on April 21, 2022, 02:42:32 PM Instrumental Medley 85 was recorded live at Cropredy in 1992.

And thanks Nick, I did read that about Bryn when reading his biography Title: Re: A Box Of Pegg’s Question Post by: Will S on April 22, 2022, 11:30:29 AM Bryn is an excellent musician. He appeared at Cropredy one year as a special guest, and then recorded an album at Woodworm which Peggy and Chris played on. He's actually just recorded another album there too.

Still plenty of good music whatever your inclination. over 30 years ago my secretary at the time , together with her husband, organised regular concerts by Christian musicians at a lovely little theatre at the local museum. We went to quite a few and saw some excellent performances Bryn, Garth Hewitt, Martyn Joseph , Paul ??? |
