Daily Telegraph business news cites Fairport as 'download gems' !

[Joss]

As if we didn't already know they are gems !! 

Todays Daily Telegraph business news reports on downloads from Universal Music, which opens it's 'more obscure vaults' to the digital download era next month. I quote "listeners can download gems such as Brigitte Bardot's 1960s album Bubblegum, Happy in Hell from The Christians or early music offerings by Fairport Convention".

Amazing eh ?  When else did you see Fairport Convention and Brigitte Bardot in the same sentence?

Come to think of it, has anyone else seen interesting couplings of Fairport plus ....... ? Do tell !!!

In the same sentence as Nana Mouskouri in the Guardian - not the same is it.

Of course there's always the one they were responsible for themselves. The caption competition on the back of the 1988 Cropredy programme.

The Chaps with Madame Cynthia Payne

I seem to remember the winning caption was something like "Which one's Allcock?"
