Yes, we were there. It was the launch of Walking With Ghosts, the LUSH CD set made by Simon Emmerson, it was a great night.
FLK were support, apparently there are Belles of London City in those costumes. All very mysterious, they came on, they performed, they left, with no introductions/explanations.

It made me sick to my stomach to see all those vinyl's being burned.  At least they were second presses.Or at least one of them was. |

I see Emma Hartley has picked up the same thing.
I'm not sure what I think about it, which I guess is the point, or at least part of it. It's certainly open to a lot of interpretations but I don't think it's meant to be funny, as is queried on the other thread. A break with the past, a symbolic destruction of the most iconic folk album of the last forty-odd years, a wind-up?
It was also probably just one copy of L&L and some specially made sleeves - cheaper that way.

I may be missing something, but I found that offensive. Musically just a dirge, then scenes akin to the Nazi book burnings. I don't know who did this, but it had no merit whatsoever.

Ignore it. It's irrelevant publicity-seeking.

There's an album as well apparently, which from Colin Irwin's fRoots review sounds interesting (to me anyway) - lots of beats and samples of classic tracks in a generally dreamy - or dirge-like Andy T  - style. The more I think about this the more I like it. |

Not much of a publicity stunt with 194 viewings on YouTube. Thought it was an outtake from an old Reeves and Mortimer show..

Makes me think of that bit in The Rutles film - "Many fans burnt their Rutles albums. Many more burnt their fingers attempting to burn their albums. Rutles album sales sky rocketed - people were buying them just to burn them." |

I'm pretty sure George Harrison said something similar about the actual Beatles album burnings - 'They've got to buy them to burn them' - or something like that.Of course he was in the Rutles movie, happy to have a dig at his former band.

Managed 1 minute 30 seconds of the first video, and then lost interest I'm afraid...  Yawn...Time for bed.  |

I hadn't heard (herd) of FLK....not much to get excited about as far as I can see.
If I want to see band dressed up in some sort of animal outfit - I prefer the Wombles

If they bought that many copies, expect L&L to make a chart re-entry this week.
Not B****cks, even worse, dull.
And they owe me for 5 mins I will never get back.

cutting edge stuff - copying a 20 year old publicity stunt and burning a 40 year old album.

Well, one of the comments on YouTube says something to the effect of never having heard of the LP and now wanting to check it out! So it could be a kind of publicity stunt using reverse psychology: which two members of Fairport are actually in those cow costumes?
On second thoughts, they would know how to spell "sacrilege" in the caption (unless it is an intentional reference to meeting on the sacriledge...
