They're just making fun out of the general inability to remember which album was recorded in which year, and the contents of each - as exposed by a punter that got it wrong in Tewkesbury.
Just a bit of fun, I reckon.
That's what I thought on the night and why I wrote what I did. But when you said the joke was immortalised in a Fairport Quiz with capital letters (no, I'm not being a pedant) I assumed that was a reference to a recording, a publication or an entry in one of the programmes from long ago that I had never heard of.  Silly me!  |

any chance of some set lists being posted so we can get an idea of what changes are being made night on night and build up a picture of the overall reportoire this tour.

Well I guess this has now become the review thread, as it's hard to write a review without mentioning the names of any of the songs! It was really cold in the auditorium of the Swan in High Wycombe, but I had warmed up by the end. Whether this was because of the amount of bodies in the room, or because of the heart warming nature of the performance is hard to say... Having "discovered" Fairport a few short years ago, this was only the 4th time of attending the Wintour, and this was very obviously different from the others. Since attending for the first time, I've collected a large amount of the back catalogue, so am familiar with most of the older songs. However, it still seemed surprisingly different hearing them performed last night! I've noticed how many people on here, who have been fans for a long time, seem to be pointedly asking for the old stuff, so they will certainly be happy with this set. Although much of the material was old, the evening felt somehow much more experimental (for us in the audience, anyway, if not the band!), as if a bit of a comfort zone was being done away with. Once I'd got over this, it was great! Highlights for me were "Banks of the Sweet Primroses" (fabulous harmonies); "Journeyman's Grace" (great electric guitar); the 3 songs from "Babbacombe Lee" and, surprisingly, "Reynardine". Surprisingly, because I nearly always skip it on "Liege and Lief" as I find it rather dull, and am always waiting for it to develop into something with a bit of punch at the end, a bit like "A Sailor's Life." However, I really came to appreciate it last night, with the stunning vocal performance and the shimmering guitar, both of which sent the proverbial shivers down the spine. Such a lot to enjoy - make sure you don't miss out on this!  PS: When is "Glady's Leap" going to be added to the list of remastered CDs on the market? |

The pre and post Cropredy diary in the programme makes interesting reading.

They'll change the set list tonight, Peggy said. And they have a third version to play later on in the tour.

Huddersfield last night - Though Simon had a senior moment at Wat almost survived!  It was a great show, with some very interesting choices of songs/tunes, including 'Rose Hip' from 'Red & Gold' which I don't think I've ever seen performed before. Also, ' Doctor Of Physick' made the set last night, as did one of my favourites 'Wood and the Wire' and a rather cracking double of 'Swirling Pit' & ' Jams O'Donnells Jigs'. If the set list is changing this much I might be tempted to nip up to Burnley later on this month for a second helping! Cheers Dunc |

From the set-list already posted by Ollie we didn't get: - Genesis Hall Banks of the Sweet Primroses South Dakota to Manchester Journeymans Grace Instrumental 85 Who knows where the time goes? Hawkswood Army But they also added 'Keep on Turning the Wheel' & 'Hiring Fair' to the set list last night, plus they finished with MotL. |

I wonder how many other bands vary their set list so much in the course of one tour? Without a new CD to promote, of course, FC have the latitude (and the repertoire) to be able to do so - perhaps this idea stemmed from the unrehearsed end to Sat night's Croppers set? Whatever, it's certainly a refreshing change from the usual "set" set list we're used to expecting from touring bands. More power to the chaps' elbows (and fingers, knees, feet etc).
Can we dare to hope for a live CD culled from the tour, with a version of every song/tune played during the tour? I'd buy it...

Perhaps Mr, Penguin (Dunc) will correct me but I reckon the show at the LBT Huddersfield ran something like this:
1st Half
Anthony John Clarke(5 songs)
Transition number with Fairport.(Sorry missed the title...AJC is a real find, started the show well)
The Happy Man
Doctor of Physick
Rocky Road
The Rose Hip
My Love's In America
Reynardine
Wood & The Wire
Mock morris '90
2nd Half
Keep Turning The Wheel
Wat Tyler
The Swirling Pit
Jam O'Donnell's Jig
Breakfast In Mayfair
Cell Song
The Hanging Song
Eynsham Poacher
Hiring Fair
End of a Holiday
Matty Groves et al(Not sure which medley)
Encores
Best Wishes
Meet On The Ledge (with AJC in 'Peggy 60' t-shirt)
Best show for variety and some real treats in 'Doctor' +'Rose Hip + AJC etc
Should be a review on Hudds. Examiner from Pete Barrow.

It looked like they had microphones trained on the audience last night to capture the applause, so we can only hope!
Perhaps Mr, Penguin (Dunc) will correct me but I reckon the show at the LBT Huddersfield ran something like this:
Didn't actually make a note of the setlist myself, I'm glad someone did  , but that looks about right to me! Forgot to mention, it was Tuesday and yet we didn't have any karaoke from AJC.  |

So far have they included the Babbacombe Lee section every night?
I wouldn't want them to drop that by the time I see them at Gateshead
