How are you watching it? I just tried the link and got a message that it's been removed due to copyright violation.
I'm watching it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzBRrXCNkUU right now, actually!  |

Well I've watched in and watched it (Oh, I'm a martyr to my cause!) and I know all the evidence points to them miming, but I'm not totally convinced. They did a blinkin' good job at it! Anyway it doesn't matter. It's a great bit of vintage footage, if only for Peggy's beard That's Peggy? On the left, with all that dark bushy hair and big hairy beard?  Ooh! I want to complain about YouTube - nothing ever plays straight off - this clip stopped at 2mins56 and refused to budge past that point! So much for blinking Broadband! |

Is there any other kind? yes - little hairy beards, bumfluff (as in the kind 14 year olds grow), 5 o'clock shadows, plus these (hope the link works) |

Brilliant, Brij! You do find the most outrageous websites!
I liked the doorknocker, closely followed by the chin curtain ...
... but as I've said before, I do like a neatly trimmed beard!

You could always change the topic to Simon and Peggy - confusing their beards

No we couldn't!  Anyway, back OT. I have never confused them. Never ever, ever. So there.  Seriously, Simon's voice has developed so much over the years - and with respect to Peggy - his voice was rarely in the forefront and not really his strongest suit, as it were  I find it hard to understand how anyone could ever confuse them. But maybe I am not listening to the most appropriate Fairport tracks. |

I think that's it - if you listen to the 1971 band or the 1977-9 band, then it sometimes becomes quite difficult to tell. Back then Simon sang in the same pitch as peggy and both had that nasal thing going on. Listen to I Was 16/John My Son from 'Babbacombe' Lee and you might see what I mean. Jules |

There's definitely no mistaking them now! Simon's voice has (IMHO) completely changed and now has a resonance and depth it simply didn't have in the early 70s. I wonder if he's had singing lessons or if it's just matured naturally over the years (like a cheeese ... ) |

[ I wonder if he's had singing lessons or if it's just matured naturally over the years (like a cheeese ... ) I think your voice matures like a cheese over the years. Usually the difference between the voice of a spotty teenager and a complacent - sorry Simon, talking more from my personal experience - 55+ is quite big, when it comes to vocal range, pitch, depth etc. Staffan |

Will check out Babbacome Lee (which I have to confess I have yet to play in it's entirety - sorry Brij!) And yes, I am very much aware that Simon's voice has matured beautifully since the early days. |

Currently listening to Angel Delight. Simon definitely has "that nasal thing" going on in the track "Sir William Gower". |
