After the wonderful Cropredy I have just had, I don't think I could take any more excitement ;D

2008 will come round all too soon.

Confession time. The one startling  gap in my Fairport and related collection is Fotheringay. I keep hearing that it is great and I don't know why I don't have it. It is on the list and I think I had better investigate imminently.  :-[

Definitely a startling gap that needs to be filled.  It's right up there with all that is great in the FC canon of works.

I thought Fotheringay II was set for this October.  Have I missed news of a further delay?

'Fraid so. See this link: http://dmme.net/specials/foth.html
It takes you to a message from Jerry Donahue where he explains reasons for delay: Universal were slow to supply the masters; when they arrived there was more stuff than he was expecting (new material from Trevor); he's tied up with other commitments to the end of this year. That takes us into 2008. Why October? - I can only speculate that's to do with David Suff's release schedule. Still, we've waited 37 years for this album, so what's another year, eh?

Thanks for the info, guys.  I'll have to be careful crossing the road for a whole extra year!
