Not perfect. Never claimed to be.
The Orchestral Fairport Convention

Several bands have recorded orchestral albums of their material (starting, possibly, with Deep Purple, many years ago, more recently Sting and Ian Anderson).
So I started thinking: what tracks would you nominate for such treatment. Let's say 10-15 just to give some reasonable limits.
I'm still thinking about this, but, in no particular order, I reckon the following might make a good start:
Who Knows Where The Time Goes
The Hiring Fair
The Deserter
Now Be Thankful
Sloth
Portmeirion
Fotheringay
Walk AWhile
Matty Groves
Meet On The Ledge

I think One More Chance would be a perfect fit, presuming you could find someone to sing it.
