I added it to my Sky package via the remote control just now, and it's only £1 extra per month!!!  |

Well I get Sky through my rental agreement. I have Sky+ but the recording function doesn't work at the moment. I have absolutely no idea how to record direct to the laptop but if anyone wants to tell me I'll give it a go. Btw, bootlegging. Its ok when the boss says it is, then?  |

One of the more accurate self-analytical comments I've ever seen (from the interview between Rick, Francis and Whispering Bob backstage):
Francis Rossi: "We've been coasting for 40 years".
Bit harsh, Francis...35?

Have just been listening to Fairport on SKY and terrible sound quality for Walkawhile. Much better having been there!
Now suffering again from a sample of that middle hour of 'Excalibur'. It just reminds me that inside every folk rocker there is rocker trying to get out.

Not much Fairport at all...Other than the Excalibur segment (which was excruciating) the only 'proper' FC stuff they played was Walk Awhile, that Ukelele song (yawn), and a fine MotL.
Other stuff...Little Feat's Spanish Moon was exquisite, whilst Dixie Chicken was strangely subdued, Breabach were fab, I liked the Thea Gilmore song, Dixie Bee-Liners were excellent, Status Quo weren't, and I was quite surprised to enjoy the song they played by The Tindalls. Oh and Ahab...very good.
Another thumbs down for every intro and link by Mr Harris being about him. Its SO embarrassing. Can somebody have a word?

Agreed. I like Bob, but he betrayed a complete lack oif understanding of a number of aspects of Crops.
As to the song selection, Martyn Joseph was ok for one number, the second was terrible. Tyndalls doing Stevie Nicks was a disappointment - why have a faux american accident? "Landslide" is a beatiful song, no american accent needed.
SQ were worse than I remembered. Wendy and I both cringed.
Ukelele ****** central? Jesus Christ. Where was Sir Pat?
and no Bellowhead? WTF?

Didn't do the atmosphere/vibe festival as much Justice as I thought it would (the Fairport@Forty DVD is the best thing for that) but musically it was very good.
One Dig I would have to give at the Programme was that so many of the best artists from over the weekend were missed out (Leatherat, LJE, 3 Daft Monkeys, Bellowhead, Swarb!)
