It's been posted before, I'm sure, but this is a nice little Albion Band documentary from 1979:

Sad news. Here's hoping that his recovery & rehabilitation go well.

Oh no...poor Ashley...that's awful news. I met him and had a chat at Cropredy back around 2005 and he is a lovely guy. Sending love and wishing him a speedy recovery.

Just booked flights, buses, hotels and 3-day pass for the MoonJune festival in Teramo (Italy) next month.  Lots of prog and jazz - David Cross Band, Markus Reuterr with Truce, Gong, Soft Machine, Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy playing Rainbow Dome Music.  Actual pass was only c.£85!

Very sad news, and wishing him and his family all the best. I (like many others here) have had the pleasure of seeing Ashley play in various iterations of the Albion Band over the years. Will give the guv’nor discs a spin tonight.

Sad news - fingers crossed for his recovery.

Very fortunate (with a few other members of this parish) to have seen Ashley's epic 80th Birthday concert in Birmingham last year, and to have caught him one last time in a duo gig with Blair at King's Place, London, in June.

The gig at King's Place was more of a Q&A than a gig, the guys played some traditional material, some Dylan, some Leonard Cohen, some of Blair's originals and regaled the audience with tales of Jimi Hendrix jamming with Fairport at the Speakeasy club, also revealing that the poet Philip Larkin considered Fairport Convention the only rock group worth listening to...
