As the Stones celebrated their 50th anniversary topping the bill & this weekend The Who are topping the bill to celebrate their 50th will Fairport be invited likewise in 2017?

Good as it might be, I just don't think they have the 'brand recognition' of those other two acts.

Lots of stages at Glastonbury though - and as they played on the first bill there may be a stage somewhere they could headline, The Acoustic Stage would be the obvious choice.

I'm no expert on Fairport so far as I'm only just discovering their music, so a wee bit of help is required...
The famous footage of Fairport playing Dirty Linen (I think) at Glastonbury in '71 - what was the line up at that time? I can recognise Swarbrick and Mattacks of course but is Pegg playing bass?

It's certainly Peggy. He had hair in those days.... Cheers, Slippy  |

I think you'll find Glastonbury 2017 is going to be one of their fallow years.
