Title: Fairport when they were young....
Post by: Chris on November 13, 2005, 07:53:38 PM
Thought I'd start this topic & see if we can 'persuade' Fairport (both current & ex) to put up 'when I was very young' photos....

Here's several to be going on with.....

All my early ones are on my website, except I have got a picture of a portrait of me painted by a Fpt friend when I was eighteen.

Any good?

Ahhh - probably don't need to as I'm not technically adding them to this site, but linking direct to the sites that they appear on....

Great idea - the sites I'm finding are worth looking through....

Here's a couple more....

Jim/PLW: The Hokey Pokey pic is indeed Linda, rather than Sue Draheim.

How about this one:

You're right. A check through the shelves shows it was Cropredy 1991.

"The AC/DC year?" Que?

I think that was the year AC/DC were headlining at Castle Donington on Cropredy saturday. Wasn't at either unfortunately....think I was dragged to Brittany instead...but by the wonders of modern technology I revisit both frequently. Top notch Fairport set that year with the 'Five Seasons' line-up in great form, Beryl Marriott, some stunning Sandy songs with Vikki & Julianne, an RT mini-set with Anto Thistlethwaite & even a surprise guest spot from Andy Fairlywellknown thrown in for good measure.

Can't remember seeing Norm advertising Motorhead but Spinal Tap got just a few mentions in the mid-80s!  :)
