I think the JBL album needs a one-off concert in all it's glory once Swarb can perform. That would be wonderful on DVD and CD for posterity.
Cropredy Caper/Frog Up The Pump are due an outing...

Ironically John Babbacombe Lee album has been done in the past, though I myself would love to see it done again, even if it was a studio DVD say. Do have a mental picture of how this would be achieved, but alas I cannot see it happening... oh well. |

Also been done on stage, but the music of Fairport set out to a drama about the mans life would be great. fantastic story line if ever there was one, it should be told. it needs to be. |

I remember that the whole JBL was presented a friday night at Cropredy. 1983 -or 1982 - and it was definitely impressive. Doubt whether it´ll work without Swarb, though.
Looking forward to the Elsinore gig on the North European Leg of the autumn tour, I hope "Rosemary´s Sister" is back into the repertoire. For a long time I´ve hoped that the band should shift the 35+-year-old heavies, i.e. let Matty take a looong rest and reenter Sloth. The latter is, in my mind, just as heavy and meaningful in the Fairport canon as Matty, means maybe more to many people and leave plenty of room for instrumental soloing. Grab that strat Simon!
Just as good as he is on the acoustic in "Rosemary´s Sister", I´m convinced he´s just as good on the electric.

Roll on Thursday and the arrival of Broadband, so I can ask Himself if I can get to the Grays gig...
Song requests...? Hmmm. Some personal favourites, some in the current repertoire some not. Some I couldn't say whether they'd "work" either live or in the current lineup.
The Lady Vanishes
Close To You
Angel Delight (could be a fun one to update?)
Slip Jigs and Reels
If (Stomp)
Canny Capers
Walk Awhile
London Danny
Home is Where the Heart is
Westward
Red and Gold
Don't Leave Too Soon
Happy Man
Portmerion
Everything But the Skirl
Fiddlestix
Also 2nd/3rd/4th Rosemary's Sister. How about Lancashire Hills too? or Danny's Song?
Awaiting delivery of a couple more "middle years" CDs, so might find some good stuff in there too...

Simon is a really good rhythm guitarist, his playing has got balls, when he can be bothered to pick up a strat or tele, or even his rickonbacker  Wat Tyler is one they don't do often enough & that is one Simon gan really chug away, he should borrow Martin Barre's set of Marshalls, for that bit extra umph Was looking at the 20th aniversary Vid today & the whole thing rocked. Songs like Romarys sister, Summer before the War, Ginnie etc, we really can do without, they are fairports version of Margarita time as far as I'm concerned. They've been done to death over the last lord knows how many years & they are not Fairport, let alone they are not Folk, they are just MOR dirges. Lets have some decent Traditional songs & tunes that rock as well as songs that sound as if they deserve to be traditional. |
