Well, you could leave of the first train / coach, get there early and be near the front of the queue, spend the rest of the day on RT, have an enjoyable evening, stay overnight, more RT, ....

I was a bit concerned for a moment there, the Fopp in central London is tiny - but this appears to be a new store.

 Gotta suss this out! Get to the store at opening time, get wristband. Go to work, apologise for lateness - puncture? Go to gig in evening. Plan! Except they won't make the wristbands available until lunchtime or something knowing my luck.

I know plenty of Americans who say its The Byrds, ignoring the different definition of 'folk' Explain please? If you're saying that 'folk' = 'trad', then OK, that leaves out the Dylan songs they did. However, The Byrds did a rock version of - Bells of Rhymney on their first album (1965) -Oh! Susannah on their Turn,Turn,Turn album (1966) -Wild Mountain Thyme on their Fifth Dimension album (1966) If these don't fall under your definition of 'folk' then I would think that definition is pretty narrow. (if this sounds combative, I apologize - it is not meant to be. I'm just asking for clarification) |

(if this sounds combative, I apologize - it is not meant to be. I'm just asking for clarification)  I guess the destinction is that the Byrds are rooted in Tranditional American Music, and Fairport are rooted in Traditional British Music. Although of course American Folk mainly originates from the UK, by the time it has reached the Byrds its a different thing to what Fairport do from 'A Sailors Life' onwards. So a discussion as to wether the Byrds or Fairport invented Folk Rock is redundant, in that they both developed different things. I think. |

HANG ON JUST A MINUTE! Forget all this "who invented folk-rock" malarkey for a minute! It got invented, now be thankful... Isn't 12th Feb in the middle of the tour? It's a long way from TCR to Lincoln! Hope the sat-nav's on form. See you there, Chaps. |

Oops, slight reworking of the previous post required methinks...

Sorry Jen, Lincoln's just a bit out of my reach, even for an FC gig.

(if this sounds combative, I apologize - it is not meant to be.

(1963) Animals - House of the rising sun (1964) All many years before Fairport. From Rob |

Yes, but as a mere cover of Pete Seeger's "Where Have all The Flowers Gone?" I would say that the Searchers record doesn't count.

"House Of The Rising Sun" and "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean" aren't original either.
Wait - nor is Matty Groves
