Dear fellow Talk-Awhilers.
I am certain that everyone would agree that there is not enough discussion on the subject of hats on this forum. So I am hoping this thread will rectify this by stimulating debate and discussion around the subject.
After all if Tom Jones can do it with “You can leave your hat on”
Steeleye Span with “All around my hat” and Kevin Ayres – “The Hat song” I am sure that it’s about time Fairport produced a decent hat titled song.
On the subject of wearing hats do you think hat wearing increases musical proficiency – or is it just a cover up for hair loss? Current and former members of the group have worn various head gear when performing but is there anyone who has never worn a hat on stage – can’t remember either Simon or Chris with one.

I haven't got a scanner unfortunately, but if anyone has the May '78 tour programme the back cover has a great picture with Simon all denimed out in flares and shirt and a white hat on at a jaunty angle looking for all the world like he might be in the Doobie Brothers or some such. Bruce also wearing blue cap of a nautical nature...

Simon did favour the baseball cap look some years ago.
As to the question about hats impact I am a keen hat wearer, still have a full head of hair and am one of the worst guitarists ever to have our pick to string.
Possibly I am the exception that proves the rules.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Mental images of tableaux of Derek Guyler (as Lord Arnold) smiting Hatty Jaques (his wife) with a long, beaten sword as she kneels in front of a prostrate Eric Sykes ('Atty Groves) - all three dressed in BBC comedy departments best middle-ages costumes (actually a mixture of civil-war armour and 17thC fop).  |

Anyone remember the baseball cap with the attached ponytail that Peggy wore occasionally around 1992?
Laugh!
No, me neither.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. We're not onto the subject of shoes again, are we? So soon? You'll never get Peel in a pair of spats as long as there's a hole in ..er.. his pocket. Spats indeed! Do me a favour. And what on earth have spats got to do with Fairport Convention, tell me? On second thoughts, don't. Just don't. Are they wearing them, off camera, on the cover of Send Us a Cajun? I might have guessed they'd pull a stunt like that. Spats, you say? Dear oh dear, oh dear, oh dear......  |

Do you know what Bill Bailey says about his hat?
'All around my hat I shall wear the tiny mammal
Then I shall take it and place it in a vice...'
