I like all 3 of the series. It is a nice departure and proves (again) Fairport are a moveable feast to be enjoyed in all contexts  Smiley

I only have the first one which I played recently after the tribute video for Gerry played the instrumental track Celtic Dream. Seen some videos of other performances. As the broader concept I wasnt that interested, but for the Fairport side I agree it showed their adaptability and versatility.

It is the tracks from Alain Simon's Excalibur project that Fairport members played on.  I like it. I seem to be in a minority here.


I went to see the show at a castle just outside Munich with Fairport as the core of the band. It was utterly preposterous, albeit spectacular but sort of enjoyable after a stein or three of the local falling down water.
