Just listened to DG's Dimming of the Day...I think it's great. His voice is ok - I mean it's not exactly 1971 Dave, but we're not talking Ian Anderson here. Ageing well, and using it to suit the material, I'd say. And anyway, listen to that geeeetar...   |

If they're not already out there, audience recordings are definitely coming. But I really do hope it gets a full release (highly unlikely, I'd have thought, but what do I know) and I can contribute to the pension fund in absentia.
There is one out there already. Sounds pretty good from what I've hear. PM me if interested. |

Having had a little look around YouTube, I've got to say that I love Olivia Chaney's WKWTTG. But then I think she's great anyway (if you haven't heard the Offa Rex album that she sings on, give it a go).

You beat me to it, she sang magnificently, should be booked for the Sandy slot at Cropredy! |

What a fabulous evening. So many highlights, and feel so lucky have been able to go. And the one bit that everyone around me agreed was a bit special was Peggy singing Down Where the Drunkards Roll, with RT as sideman. Such a lovely, warm, reflective performance.

The few bits I've seen on YouTube look fabulous - and RT's jacket is a sight to behold!

Who was there from FC/ex FC, apart from the late Simon Nicol?
I wonder if he spent his time in Greece re-recording some old Fairport tracks. He could release it as "What I Did On My Extended Holiday".  But great that he made it for the end of the concert. I thought I spotted him on the YouTube video plugging in his acoustic at the start of MOTL. |

Just watched the Peggy version of Down where the Drunkards Roll. So fragile, and teetering on the edge of total collapse at times. But hugely effective and very emotive. A triumph.

Have just listened to a full (albeit not especially great quality) recording of the show.
It occurs to me that RT participated in Joan Baez's 75th birthday show in New York a couple of years ago (available on CD & DVD) and this seems to have been designed along very similar lines. I'm guessing he was inspired by that event.
I am still sad I missed it but, having heard it, there is quite a lot that would not have especially thrilled me (essentially everything from Kate Rusby until RT played Persuasion with Teddy, with the exception of Hug You Like A Mountain and then the Maddy Prior section too, basically all the trad folk stuff). Nevertheless, I hope it gets an official release of some sort, like Joan's did.

Same thoughts. I have to think not being known as a vocalist by any means that Peggy must have been absolutely thrilled to have been asked to sing, not to mention playing mandolin as well. |

Go to the Fairport website and you will see how nervous he was.

That's brilliant! Just watched it, and it was much more affecting than I had imagined. Well done Peggy! Also watched the David Gilmour section - fantastic! |
