That'd be a good theme for a Faiport song. A number one.  Cool

Is this a sampled recording?

Puggs



Edit: Ok, this is twenty (or so) questions
No

I'm intrigued. Have any Fairport tracks been sampled & appeared in albums by "new" artists Huh  Can't imagine a hip hop version of Sir B, but then you never do know............

Groove Armada (I think) did a track based around samples from 'Autopsy' last year or the year before.

Here's a question?

When was the last time that a member of Fairport Convention was in both the Album and Singles top 10?

Alright, clever Googler's - who was the last member of Fairport Convention to win an award for "Best World Music" album and for which album?
The winner wins the right to ask the next obscure question.

Only a guess, no Google or books honest, Dan ar Braz? If that bit is right, it must be something to do with Heritage des Celtes or Excalibur.

Very good - Dan ar Braz live version of Heritage des Celts won the Victoires de la Musique award for Best World Music Album - and a brilliant album it is too.
