On a related subj.  I have't seen them do Jack O'Rion for 749 years, do they ever do it now? Or is it too Swarb?


It's very much a Swarb piece - he put it all together.  I think it's their finest track post Nine.

I can see the current line-up doing a version, but it would be nothing like Swarb did it. I know Ric always likes getting his teeth into Fiddle tunes, especially the way they're arranged in that particular track. Much like Babbacombe Lee, I suppose, they could definitely do it justice.

Can't argue with that. Swarb has a threat about him that I can't see in Chris Leslie, fine fellow though he is. It wouldn't be the same.

Is my memory playing tricks with me? I seem to remember hearing Jack O'Rion live, played by the current line up. Definately heard 'Lord Marlborough' another year....

When this was first mentioned I seemed to remember the same.  But I'm resolutely unconvinced with myself  Smiley

I wouldn't mind hearing Chris Leslie take on Jack Orion. I'm glad to see that the band has continued to revisit the older songs and CL's vocals on Rising For the Moon was well done. Not sure how I feel about a whole new disc of remakes, but we'll see in a few months! As for a double CD of live FC from the Bonny Bunch/Tippler's Tales era.. I'm genuinely thrilled! Aside from the Farewell, Farewell CD, I haven't heard any other live recordings from that particular line-up. Bonny Bunch & Tippler's have long been two of my favorites from the band and I revisit both quite often. It's most welcome news to hear that Swarb is putting this together. Sign me up! Smiley
