Oh my - thank you for these. I saw this line-up in Aberystwyth - this helps revive some failing memories.

Well, that looks like Bruce's beard; DM left the band just before that Scandinavian tour; Paul Warren (roadie) took the drum stool for the Oslo gig on 5 Feb 75 (as documented on the "Many Ears to Please" CD).  I wonder if Bruce joined in after that?  No mention in the CD booklet, but it hints that Paul W only played the one gig...

Cracking photos though!

Well, there's only one pic where you get anything like a decent view of the drummer's face - number 8 - and it looks like Bruce to me.

Interesting December 1975. Isn't that the month sandy Jerry and Trevor left fairport. Sandy looks very tired in the photos doesn't she?

I felt fairly lucky catching them the following night in Gothenburgh. Having spent the weekend away from Gothenburgh with my new girlfriend, I didnt have time to make a detour to my flat to pick up my camera before the concert. "-I'll see them again the next year or the year after". I have always regretted that.... I remeber Sandy wearing a long dress, not the one on these pictures but I couldn't tell you who was the drummer for my life. Although I think, that should it not have been either DM or as in this case BR, I probably made a note and remembered.
Loveley photos.

I have this old blurred photo of the ad för the Gothenburgh gig , December 7th 1975.
There we are given the drummer´s name but also a new bass player, David Peck!  Grin
The review in Tuesday´s paper found the band going in too many directions at the same time- Sandy´s own songs, traditional dance tunes, Trevor´s more countrylike material - but found the performance enjoyable but without spark for the first half.

That review hits the nail on the head of Fairport over the years - they were just too good at a lot of things.
