Lots and lots of Martin Carthy, having splashed out on the big boxset. Currently taking a break and cleansing the aural palate, as it were, with Steve Tilston's rather lovely instrumental album Swans At Coole.

The great Keith Christmas.  Had absolutely no idea he was ill (I was conversing with him and buying some rare tapes off him just a few weeks ago).  Apparently he's has renal unpleasantness for about 4 years....F***ing cancer....
My old Uni friend Doug, of the band Living The Poundshop Life, was a friend of his.  The only time I saw KC was with Doug, before he new KC, at The Van Dyke in Plymouth. I think it was the night before the famous police raid when Fairport were playng. KC had been a late replacement for John Martyn.

I note Talking Elephant are re-releasing Red & Gold with a couple of live tracks tagged on.

https://talkingelephantrecords.bandcamp.com/album/red-gold-2

Typical nonsensical notes: "Fairports 16th Album to be released in 1986 marking the solid beginnings of the now legendary Cropredy Festival."  Er, no it bloody didn't...  Grin

Richard's   You Me Us  by Music on Vinyl, as a double album.

Also a black friday release  of unreleased live recordings of Richard and Linda.  2LP,  afaik.

Only vinyl buffs need  apply.

Took a chance on a double Move collection album when browsing my local record shop. I knew the singles but none of the album tracks and it's a revelation, fabulous and quite unique sound. What a great band that had largely passed me by until now.

£84 seems expensive to me.

Pensions can only stretch so far.

I saw that advertised yesterday. Interesting. Oddly no Fairporters are mentioned amongst the performers?


I agree it is very odd.  But, as Paul suggests, there is obviously still a chance they will end up being involved....


True. Yet one would have thought that Simon and Peggy, at least, might be among the first to be asked.  RT & DM, being US-based, might not be so easily available.  Ashley of course is probably not available due to his stroke.

£84 a ticket!!
