I know I love in "that London" and all that but it's still a fair few quid.

There's a video (thnaks to Tony Quinn) of me doing part of "Ride A Whire Swan"

Nice to know somebody gets 'it' before I do. My kids 96,9,11...

On Fri AM I scuttled off to a car boot sale and bought a WOOL coat with fury collar.

And given what has happened on the US tours in 2003 and 2995 I think that DP is well advised to stay at home :-)

On page 24 there's photos of Julie Matthews playing the accordian and Christ Leslie playing the violin.

Fairport spokesman Andy Farquarson says that the band has been playing to sell-our houses on virtually every date of the tour.

Indeed - I watched it with some friends, we all drank father too much after England's diabolical showing...

Jon Hall:
Did someone say T Short vote

Widds:
No, I said T-shirt vote (why is t-shirt such a difficult word to type? I always seem to end up with t-shitr or t-shrit or t-shrot)

David West:
I'm not good on set lists but it certainly contained (SNIP) Angry Man...

Widds:
Angry Man? Wazzat? Are you sure it wasn't Happy Man, Frozen Man or Wandering Man? Or even Naked Highway Man? Or Crazy Man Michael? Or Poor Will And The Jolly Hangman? Or even Cajun Woman!

In the course of discussions about the Pentangle situation Barry Howard
quoted Andy Ferguson...:

"Last year, Gerry Conway (who plays drums and percussion for Pentangle) was very very busy with Fairport (it being their 350th anniversary and all that)..."

I had bought Liege and Lies and "history of"

Hopefully next wintour they'll lay Bristol!

Scott Campbell:
I'll also send some royalties to Wormword...

Widds:
Was this deliberate Scott? Or is Wormword the latest edition to Micro$oft Office?

A suburb Irish button accordion player, always great in concert.

Widds:
That was great, wasn't it? Good to see the place where it all began, and that it is still called "Fairport". Wonder who owns it now, and if they know what they have?

Pearce:
Damn!..I may have to hope on the tube and take a look now!

Widds:
The "bampots" to which he refers are the McB's - right Jon?

Jon Hall:
Right - right , bloody well right. <Spertramp>

Widds:
I meant the *other* Jon! Spert Ramp? is that something Evil Kenevil uses for a reeeeeeeeee.........aaallllyyyy long jump?

Blank ink on white background works best for my printer.

Jo Quinn:
Mary Jane will not be deterred! We love what we do and would continue to do it whether it was just in our own bedrooms.

Widds:
Ooooh-errr missus! :-)

I still need my 25 Years Lice CD replaciong after the burglary so please let me know if anyone can help.

Dick Greener:
anyone remember Waterfall back in the 780s with those two and Martyn Oam - fantastic stuff

Tony Ecclestone:
Blimey - that's even older than Procul Harum! Did they come over with the Vikings?

I've sent a few CDs back to Amazon and other online retailers that I didn't like.

They even do a great version of Maddy Groves.

Anonymous:
Ah righty. btw The Green Lady was their second album. Their first Hedgehog Pie RUB 009 came out in 1075

Anonymous:
Sorry, Jon - checked the FAQs and it turns out that this was not their release date but, in fact, the Battle Of Hastings.

Anonymous:
Thought that was 1966;)

Anonymous:
No, that's when we won the World Cup!

CD4. Singer/Snogwriter

Tony:
Sod the rest - I'd pat just to see Rolf!

Fred:
The question is, Mr Q, what *exactly* would you pat to see Rolf?

Chris Bates:
IMHO, that would spoil the surprise if you hadn't heard them before. I vote for the current status quo.

Richard E:
I much prefer the old stuff...you know, Pictures of Matchstick Men etc. :)

Thomas Day:
Next year however, i hope to be coming to dropredy, and am already looking forward to it.

Widds:
Tell us more of this "dropredy". Is it a summer school for rubbish jugglers?

RT playing a bast**dly good oslo on Poor Will...

Enjoyed Sarah Jory in the shower...

Yeah, nobody ever goes to Starbucks around here. Too crowded.

Fairport are very keen to put out life 'broadcasts' on the web...

I spent the morning hot-footing it round such delightful hot-spots as 'Nest' and 'Top Shop'

Colin Edwards:
The current status is that I've bought a new server to run it and it's making the dinning room look untidy.

Jon:
Bit too noisy?

> Steeleye Span on tour next year.

That is fantastric news!!!!

Rachel:
...or why parking a bog makes it harder to move off..

Jon:
...Especially after a good curry...

I'm afraid Widds beat me to it, there MUST be plenty of English acts who'd give their eye teeth to plat at Croppers.

the show kicked off just after 7.30ish. Ric intro'd Vikki. she did four numbers and intro'd Waterson-Carthy (line-up was Martin, Norman and Eliza with Tim van Eyk(sp) and Saul Rose).

Glenn:
The recent intro's to MG have given the old horse a new lease of life.

Andy F:
that's no way to speak of Simon!

Sorry folks - but I'm probably not going to make this - can't get away from Oxford until 1700...

Thomas Day:
I'll be the student aged one, I think

Widds:
A student aged one? Wow, they do start young these days!

Rachel:
Adding a male member would just be funny!

Tom:
'spose it depends on what gender you are in the first place, eh?
Or does it?

Is an LP an album?

...but just wondering how FC felt about flashing in the audience...

Andy F:
getting importuned by John Baldry in the gents - those were the days

Widds:
Are you secretly Elton John then, Cap't?
...they didn't call him Long John because he was tall...

Tony E:
(Who rode a Vespa 125 for 5 years)

Widds:
Wot, non-stop? Now that's what I call good MPG! After five years on one of those babies you must have been, Oooooh, 57 miles away, roight? ;-)

Donna's second-best gig:
Bon Jovi at Milton Keynes last year on our 1st wedding anniversary

AndyF:
...what, you're married to Jon Bon Jovi????

Honestly Noam, you get us all exited then you say you are staying!

I think the idea of a monthly reminder is a goof one

I vote for "The Ballad of Easy River" to be included in Liege & Lief

...not so Marty Whitehouse, as much a part of the 60s as the Beatles.

Mark Iliff:
I drommed into Parks & Smencer yesterday and notice that sope of their manties do indeed have gussets. Amologies for py mrevious mosting.

Widds:
Wow! Can I have a pint of what you've been sniffing! You appear to have confused your "P"s and "M"s, Mark (or is it Park?). I thought Andy said we had to mind our "P"s & "Q"s now, not "P"s and "M"s...

even Bob Fax & Stu Luckley!!!

What I could do without - to reference the other threat for a moment

...as I said, a warm welcome to the lost

Andy Farquarson:
...think Ayatollah Khomeini then think American TV evangelists and you will be near enough Widds

Widds:
I think you want a comma after the word "enough", Andy - unless you really meant to describe me in such less than glowing terms...!! :-) Punctuation, young man. Punctuation!

Andy F:
[wrote that someone had sent him a Robbie Williams album. He hated it]

Jon:
Was it 'RingDance'? Got it myself and love it!

Alex:
No, I think Andy meant the fat dancer from Take That! That's why he said Robbie Williams rather than Robin Wi.......! ;-)

Andy Farquarson:
Hiring Fair is a perfect vehicle for Simon's voice (which is similar in range and timbre to Ralph McTell's) - a great song which I never hear of tiring

Alan Scott:
Andy - have you been on the meths again - or just reviewing your Pirelli calenders?

Widds (of Tam Lin):
[FC 2002] ...with Vikki Clayton as support ...use the song as a bridge between the two sets ... should they? I'm unsure. I not in love with the rambling old monster

Andy F:
Well! *that's* no way to describe the gorgeous Miss C :-))

Does anyone know what album 'The Destroyer' is on...

I know the SC-version, and after all she is the one singing it on Staines Morris. But looking at it in chronical order we have got:
1. The SC-version
2. The FC-one (AH probably being the ling between SC and FC)

The stuff I like was diluted by bands my kids would quite enjoy, but not enough of them for the kids to get exited.

...And I don't want to hear that it's got references to medieval torture devices !!!! :)

...For coffee that tasted of hot dogs

...look scruffy even in the nude

...a post from Day Release Girl (I couldn't make up that name if I thought all day!)

...And I'm not so sure they had cheese in that Empire

...Well I'm sorry but I'm going to have to shoot you.

...The Battle of Flodden - (1513 I think)

...Haven't had a chance to view those yet as my PeeCee is away being upgraded;

...not everyone in a suit is a Thatcherite.

Now listening to ... strange stuff on R3 after Nick Kershaw's program.

As someone who never saw Tull when Peggy was playing with them I must say the thought of him junmping out from behind an amp with fireworks going off is quite untriguing

They played in a marque to what was initially a very mixed audience of around 200

Ian Northcott:
We were half way between the sound desk and the stag in the middle and...

Mark Iliff replied:
Must've been a bugger trying to see past those antlers...

Chris Bates:
However, their contact info is on the site - give them a rind and ask...

Alan Scott:
Used oranges only huh?

Ty dye?
...tempting me to make some ghastly get-me-coat pun about "Tie, Dai" (as the captain said to the Welsh deckhand)

Best Balti I went to several times in 1993? and more recently 1997 was Adils One or was it Adil's Two in Spark Hill; nans the size of tables, giant jugs of Lassi and you can take your own booze - bliss!

Graham:
And it would be nice to reign in Mr Donnelly a little as well...

Andy:
I don't think Keith would welcome his elevation to royalty

Jon:
...my comment came across as rather more brusk than intended

Andy:
...hope i don't sound brusque but isn't a "brusk" a Farley's Rusk dunked in Irn Bru?

They've made a great album I reckon. I first came across Jane when she was playing with her boyfriend of the time, Carl Hodgson.
