I don't think this has been mentioned already but there's a Fairport L&L feature in the Sept issue of Uncut. Some nice quotes like this one from Swarb... "Out of the 4 nations that comprise the UK England is the only one that had to have a folk revival." And DM... "I didn't really get it until I'd been in the band about a year."  Other features include the Traveling Wilburys and the making of Hawkwind's Silver Machine. |

Apologies if this is mentioned elsewhere but September issue of Q Magazine has a revue of Liege & Lief, given 5 stars as a Q Classic with a great black and white picture of the 'original lineup' entitled 'a landmark fusion of the acoustic and the electric' Tam Lin is listed at number 23 as one of the 50 essential tracks to download this month. My 17 year old now realises just how 'cool' we are! |

The article was written by Uncut's editor Rob Young, who at present is writing a book on British visionary music and folk/rock. Rob was at Cropredy on the Friday to catch the L&L set, he thoroughly enjoyed his first visit to the festival and vowed to be back. |

I thought Allan Jones was Editor of Uncut? Rob Young has an editorial position at The Wire. He contributed quite a decent article on "psych folk" for the September issue of The Wire which promises well for his book. I'm not so impressed by his review of Sandy Denny at the BBC in October's Uncut. "Witchy vibrato" indeed! |

Does anyone else find it annoying the way magazines date their editions a month in advance? Why does the October issue (I'm assuming you're talking about the current issue) come out at the end of August\start of Sept?  |

Rob Jones was a former Editor of the Wire, however Rob is now described by Uncut magazine as their Editor at Large |

This is mind-numbing pedantry, I know, and it can hardly be of much concern to anyone but Mr Young, his employer and possibly his mum, but I understood the blurb about him in September's Uncut to mean that he's "Editor at Large" of The Wire. Wikipedia thinks so too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Young. Personally I find The Wire tiresome and pretentious and am always surprised to see a magazine so in love with obscurity on sale in newsagents. On the other hand, it could be a good sign if it means people want to read about something other than Big Brother contestants. What is an "Editor at Large" anyway? |

(edit 1/08/2007)
please allow me to start again,
The article in Uncut was, according to Uncut magazine by a guy called Rob Young.
I had the great pleasure of collecting Rob from Banbury railway station when he came to Cropredy on the Friday to catch the L&L set, he struck me as being a very nice chap.
Later that evening as I was returning him to the railway station, he told me that he had thoroughly enjoyed his visit to the festival and vowed to return.
OK ! I hope that's clearer
bye
