Thea Gilmore? Changed my mind about her after seeing her on the telly as opposed to be a bit ambivalent at the gig.  |

Can't believe they left out Bellowhead.
I imagine this (and other omissions) was down to the band/management? quote from Bellowhead sound man: "We actually gave Sky full permission to record our show and use it but they chose not to." |

Nice to see Cropredy recognised at last but what a shame that so much was missed out. Okay I know you're never going to get 3 days worth of material condensed into 90 minutes and please everyone but I was so sorry that so many acts were not shown at all and others got 2 songs. And why not show the Digance Morris dancing - that's the main tradition during his set now and most of the crowd get involved.  Perhaps a series of programmes would be better: Thursday, Friday and Saturday. That gives ample time to get at least one song from each performer plus scenes of the fringe and the village (weather permitting). |

Have just been listening to Fairport on SKY and terrible sound quality for Walkawhile. Much better having been there!
Now suffering again from a sample of that middle hour of 'Excalibur'. It just reminds me that inside every folk rocker there is rocker trying to get out.
Yes, totally agree regarding the sound qualility, and your Excalibur comment. I was listening through my hi fi and couldn't improve it greatly . Also, annoyingly they included that blasted Ukelele song! |

Maybe Sky Arts will show a separate programme just featuring Bellowhead, or giving a "younger" slant on the Cropredy WE all went to!

Wasn't this made by Bob Harris's company? I'd really have hoped for a more sympathetic selection from the FC set, given the material available.

Bear in mind that it wasn't[/b] made as a souvenir for us fans, but rather for the vast majority that weren't there....

Having just watched it, that makes it all the more unfortunate |

But it wasn't financed by FC and therefore no one can complain that it hasn't become a promo film....

I wasn't expecting a promo film - I bought that when it came out. But if all I knew about FC was this programme I'd think they were five guys with ukuleles who can't sing. Which I think is a fair point of discussion on a forum principally dedicated to Fairport Convention and their works. |

I was responding to Jim's post....it wasn't (necessarliy) designed to do that.....the 'history of' doc has also been made, I bought that as well.
It was about the festival 2010, as stated by the title.

Weren't Quo marvellous
Their vocals were dreadful. As Rossi said in the interview - "We've been coasting for 40 years". Which rather summed them up. loud buzzing noise: sorry, you failed to spot the blatant irony |
