Didgeridoo!! Honest!  Just reading the accompanying notes of a certain FC album, and discovered that this instrument figured in the track......... Ah! Now that's where YOU come in.  Okay folks, lets lay bets who knows the answer and comes up with it first  Any other "unusual" instruments used on Fairport tracks? Come on you KNOW they are out there. Gower Flower |

That'd be "The Wandering Man" from Wood & The Wire. Chris Leslie is indeed versatile!  Dunno about Fairport, but Stackridge used to play dustbin lids.... |

On Ralph McTell's version of The Islands (incidentally recorded before FC's, but released later), Ralph "played" the wooden staircase at Woodworm by slowly shifting his weight between the two creakiest steps. That's the groaning of the ship! Have another listen! The sound of the ship colliding was the oil tank outside the studio...

I just love the thought of someone "playing" a staircase. Even if it was Ralph McTell

Sorry, this is going off the subject slightly, but in yesterday's "Observer" there was a review of a CD called "Wild like children" by "Tilly and the Wall". Apparently, they have a tap dancer instead of a drummer! Quote: "It may be a gimmick, but it's a gimmick you can dance to."

The Doonan Family Band have always featured Dansing Feet as part of the sound.

And of course there was the stack of chairs and milk bottle that Martin Lamble played on "Si Tu Dois partir" - complete with the milk bottle breaking.

On Chris Leslie's "The Flow" album there are dancing feet. |

And let's not forget Bruce Lacey's machines on the original recording of "Mr Lacey".
And while we're on that album. . .what are the sounds on "The Lord is in this Place"?

On any La Bottine Souriante album, you can't move for the sound of squidzillions of twinkling tootsies! (Oh boy, I'd love to see THEM at Croppers!!)
The talented Hilary James is rather percussive as well......
