I like the bit where RT says he won't need to rehearse the album because it's all "locked in" in mind. Jules |

It's well worth picking the paper up, if you can find it.

Especially as today's Graun also has an article on Anne Briggs (which mentions the songs that Sandy and RT wrote about her). Have a look too at the September issue of The Wire (a rarity in dentists' waiting rooms, I admit) - quite an intelligent article about British folk rock. |

Is Beeswing really about Anne Briggs? Was she really a laundry girl? Did she really marry a man called Romany Brown? Hard weather and hard booze? Or is it just about someone a bit like her? The latter I think.

" ... a singer named Chris While ... "  Does this imply that the writer never heard of her? Or is he being ironically hyperbolic, i.e., I don't need to say anything about her since you all know her? |

Chris While has the voice (and the balls) of an angel, in my book.
But I expect she's just under the radar for all but a few journalists writing in the national press.

Good job they didn't get a plumber named Chris While. Anyway the article was written by a journalist named. . .oh, er, hang on, I've forgotten. |

Pity they get paid for such work. Peter I think that's unfair...it's a good article. Journalists can't be expected to know everything, can they...? The fact is a decent editor would have removed about two words from the offensive sentence to make it sound much more gentle and informative. |

Having re-read what I actually think is a wonderful article, it's fair to say that John Harris refers to a "violin player named Dave Swarbrick" and "a drummer named Dave Mattacks". It's just his way of putting things. It's great to see Fairport past and present being taken so seriously and discussed so intelligently. A full-page article in The Guardian - most bands could only dream of it. |

Yes, I'm with PLW on this. Although John Harris is only in his thirties and his sympathies seem to lie mainly with BritPop (the subject of one of his books), he writes intelligently about music recorded before he was thought of. Let's recall a couple of years back he devoted two pages (!) of the Guardian to Sandy: http://arts.guardian.co.uk/fridayreview/story/0,12102,1476963,00.html |

A nice piece in this Saturday's Indy: with the proviso that the writer seems to know the location of a 'beer tent' A superb bar to end all bars indeed there is, to say nothing of the excellent Pavillion, the 2 lovely lively pubs, -but have I missed the beer tent selling Tanglefoot? ?- Well no, I certainly haven't missed it!  |

I was reading through the Box of Peggs book last night and came across a newspaper article about Fairport from 1970 (page 10 if anyone is interested) The first thing that struck me was that they listed the line up and what they played, put then in the pictures showed SN on bass, RT on mando. But then I read it. There were soooo many mistakes, it was unbelieveable. Fairport form in 66, 'David Swarbrick now on lead vocals, the first time a male has done the singing since the groups inception' and then the writer talks about off shoots of the band - 'Tyger Hutchins blues band Steel Eye Span'  That was pretty bad article |
