It combines the best of trad-based Fairport, the songwriting tradition, ensemble performance, local reference, and a satisfying narrative.

Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Poll - Song 1985 -96 Post by: David W on February 28, 2017, 10:26:24 AM Dark Eyed Molly Really interesting choice, makes me think I should revisit Red and Gold - I don't remember it ever being done live, can anyone put me right on that?

Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Poll - Song 1985 -96 Post by: RobertD on February 28, 2017, 05:15:01 PM For me, its Claudy Banks. Simon's strong voice, accompaniment that fits, but does not impede the song. And a good story song as well of course.

Title: Re: Fairport @ 50 Poll - Song 1985 -96 Post by: DarrenWilliams on February 28, 2017, 09:08:08 PM It probably should be Hiring Fair but I think over exposure has dimmed its light a bit. Dark Eyed Molly has already been mentioned but I'll have to second it. Correct me if I'm incorrect but didnt Peggy arrange this one but doesn't actually play on it? I think its Maart on fretless.
