OK all, we know of the wonderful Albion Bands Christmas albums, St Agnes Fountain also but if Fairport did a Christmas album what tracks would we like them to cover, maybe some traditional stuff, Christmas classics etc.
Howabout Simon taking lead vocals in Lonely this Christmas, Peggy taking on Stop the Cavalry, and a great fiolk/rock version of While Shephards Watch to the tune of Ilkley Moor.

Would be great - another version to add to my While Shepherds Watched collection. Nahum Tate's finest hour (or at least better than his lyrics for Purcell's Dido & Aneaes, which the choir I'm in is learning now). |

I like folk Christmas albums, can't see why all the negativity here. Kerfuffle released a beautiful album a couple of years ago and Kate Rusby has just released a second Christmas CD, also great.
Bring it on!

It'll probably be the only festive album other than Phil Spector's I'll play this Christmas.I saw Twisted Sister a few years back, when they announced that the show I was at was the last night of the tour, because they'd cancelled the other dates to fly back to the States to record a Christmas album.I thought they were joking.When it came out I just had to hear it.It is indeed brilliant.

I thought this was going to be news about the album of re-recordings that was originally announced as 'to be ready for Christmas', or some such wording, or about the live recording of Babbacombe Lee. Anyone heard anything about when either of these might be out?

I'd rather have a Fairport Halloween album. There's an old American folk song called Skin & Bones that would be perfect for inclusion.
