I don't want to particularise as some people would find it offensive; suffice it to say he thought the execution was hilariously incompetent. But at least it got his attention.....  And yes, we have been here before, but I simply wanted to mention the reaction of someone who isn't a committed FC fan; by the way, if we're now prohibited from touching on areas that have been discussed before, please let me know.

I can't stop listening to the new album. Nor can my 6 year old son who's trying to learn as many lines of Hawkwoods Army as possible before the Yeovil gig.

Oh dear....good job I'm changing continents. I'll disown him at once. Won't be easy as I'm flying out to India with him. Shall I throw him out over the Himalayas? Or put an incriminating flapjack into his bag at Heathrow?  |

Haven't you got any Laura Ashley or something, woman?
I was in Kingston-upon-Thames a couple years ago (site of huge Robin Hood May Games in the early 16th century), and I asked the young clerk at the tourist office where I could see any of the medieval buildings still standing in town. He pointed out the window and mumbled something in an incomprehensible local dialect. I asked him to please repeat himself, and it turns out he was saying: "The Laura Ashley shop over there". Yup, indeed, housed in an authentic medieval structure! Unbelievable! Cheers, Hester ... and the town was so hip & cosmopolitan, I searched in vain for a tea shop. Wound up having my "afternoon tea" in a sleek European coffee bar instead, where they served my tea in a latte bowl. Still, it was blessedly warm and somewhere to sit down, if not exactly my romantic colonial notion of "Jolly Olde England". |

P.S. Has anyone else noticed that the sleeve notes seem to have some words missing? – a couple of verses of Untouchable and one line of Best Wishes.
I suggest that you put a comment about the missing lines in the comment box under the SOC Launch bit on the website. There is always the possibility that it hasn't been noticed.  I'll see if I can pluck up the courage to do that. Gulp! |

A friend of mine picked up the album to look at in a music store in London yesterday, and spontaneously burst out laughing The cover says to me: we're happy, we're shiny and we like cake! - all excellent qualities as far as I'm concerned.  |

OFF TOPIC!
Although given the amount of cake on the cover of SOO there is a tenuous link. Anyway, having initially thought I would give the album a miss I have ordered a copy as there seems to be a positive rather than negative vibe here. I'll let you know what I think tomorrow as my copy should arrive v. soon, Jackdaw |

Well, in my facetious defence, the album's not available in Canada yet, so all I've got to comment on are cake and Laura Ashley.
Cheers, Hester

David Hughes did and he wrote a song for the last Fairport album too, even if it didn't fit.
On topic: official.

D'ye think moderator Chris is pulling his hair out yet?
But, really, to get back on topic ...
is there somewhere a poor benighted colonial could hear samples from the album?
Cheers, Hester
