Title: Requests for the acoustic tour Post by: Jan_ on April 09, 2008, 03:20:00 PM Just received the latest newsletter and with regard to the acoustic tour it says:
"This 5-piece line-up will present an acoustic stroll through the repertoire and provide a wonderful opportunity to rework some of our popular standards. We'll also be introducing innovative new arrangements of less well-known material. Despite featuring the same line-up as the full electric band, this tour will bring a very different take to Fairport's music. Oh, and we'll do requests at a push so don't be shy!" So as I have permission, I will be very forward and offer my requests now ... Over The Lancashire Hills Pavanne I've included two because I *might* be going to two gigs ;D PS I'd also settle for Honour And Praise, Summer Before The War, Ginnie, Men, Frozen Man, Lalla Rookh, Sailing Boat, The Golden Glove, The Lady Vanishes, Rosemary's Sister and After The Thrill - all of which haven't been heard for a while.

ACOUSTIC :o :o Surely shome mishtake Why not? Interesting suggestion. The chaps say they will be introducing innovative new arrangements of less well-known material.

My musical vote would also go to Slip Jigs & Reels - one of my favourites. Title: Re: Requests for the acoustic tour Post by: Ollie on April 09, 2008, 05:46:56 PM When I First Come to this Country
Rubber Band Reynard the Fox (very unlikely) Flowers of the Forest (with Simon on dulcimer!) Run, Johnny, Run Close to the Wind Decameron Title: Re: Requests for the acoustic tour Post by: tullist/raymond on April 09, 2008, 06:48:05 PM Honour and Praise, My Love is in America, London River, Level Pegging and Golden Glove and a visit as a 5 piece to the States for the first time since what, 89? Maybe as a Tull opener to save us from dear old Peter Frampton? I mean who could be a more perfect opener for Tull's 40th? Or closer, I don't care. That 5 will shortly turn to twenty if'n I don't get outta here. Poor Will and the Jolly Hangman, sudden appearances by RT or IA
Title: Re: Requests for the acoustic tour Post by: Bridgwit (Bridget) on April 09, 2008, 09:18:32 PM Honour and Praise and London River - but Maart has to be there to do the actions ;D
In fact, I don't mind what they sing but my request is that Maart is with them. Please :) pretty please :-* Title: Re: Requests for the acoustic tour Post by: PaulT on April 10, 2008, 08:58:52 AM Sloth (just kidding...)
Royal Seleccion No 13 Pop Plinn(?) - the Breton tune that FC played with Dan Ar Braz at Croppers a few yesr ago The Wood & the Wire Title: Re: Requests for the acoustic tour Post by: diddlysquat on April 10, 2008, 09:20:23 AM Sloth (just kidding...) Why kid? Simon & Swarb did it as an acoustic duo Title: Re: Requests for the acoustic tour Post by: PLW (Peter) on April 10, 2008, 09:42:25 AM Pop Plinn(?) - the Breton tune that FC played with Dan Ar Braz at Croppers a few yesr ago Pop Plinn it is. It's an Alan Stivell version of a Breton dance (a Plinn). Dan played in Stivell's band so that'll be how it found its way to Fairport. They should do more Breton music - it's wonderful stuff. My Breton uncle had a Newfoundland called Plinn. Bet you all wanted to know that! Title: Re: Requests for the acoustic tour Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on April 10, 2008, 09:45:59 AM A couple of new things that Chris played last night in Leeds... a song called Geronimo's Cadillac.. and a tune which he introduced in Franglasie and was (If I remember correctly..) a French waltz....but he really let rip on it and it is well worth many more outings!!

Title: Re: Requests for the acoustic tour Post by: Staffan on April 10, 2008, 09:59:03 AM ....and Over The Lancashire Hills. ;) Title: Re: Requests for the acoustic tour Post by: Will S on April 10, 2008, 12:18:15 PM I know this is unlikely to happen, but as I wasn't able to get to the Winter Tour, I'd love to hear the Babbacombe Lee songs you've all been raving about.
Apart from that, well... how about some (or all ;D) of the following: The Eynsham Poacher, Wizard of the Worldly Game, Sir William Gower, Dark Eyed Molly, The Islands, Golden Glove, Sailing Boat, Nottamun Town, Reynardine, Lalla Rookh, To Althea From Prison, Travelling By Steam, Sir Patrick Spens, Honour and Praise, Bonny Bunch of Roses... Will that do for starters?
