I just stumbled across this...

Not heard it before... does anybody have this version? Guitar work sounds awesome! And the dialogue sounds amusing too...

 Huh

It does exactly what it says on the tin.  It's a newly edited version of the song stuck together from loads of different versions for the Fairport Unconventional box set...

The music in the background is what has become known as Metal Matty from the 25th Anniversary disc One of my personal Faves- Maart getting heavy! Wink Grin Grin

Much as I love the current line-up, I miss Maart as well - he must surely feature quite a bit in next year's set, being as he was in one of the longest-running line-ups?

' he must surely feature quite a bit in next year's set, being as he was in one of the longest-running line-ups?'

Sorry don't know how to do boxed quotes.

On the subject of longevity of lineiups:

The Maart-Peggy-Norm-DM-RIc line up was THE longest running - but at the end of this month the current line up will be the second longest overtaking Bruce-Swarb-Norm=Peggy at 8 years 8 months.

Amazing the things you can find not to do work.

Norm?  I take it this refers to Simon.  I haven't heard him called Norm before.  What's the story with this?

Glad somebody else asked....!

I've been watching, listening to, and reading about the band for a quarter of a century or more and yesterday was the first time I've ever heard Simon being called anything other than Simon...
