Sorry, my photos would be of a sea of heads, including the chaps Embarrassed

The more I think about it,  the more special the evening becomes. The 'enormity of the honour'  as Martin says is amazing.

Another moment.........Chris singing out on the start of 'I'm already there' , the sound was  good anyway, but that bit just sent a shiver down my spine.

And yes, Mr Pegg was there, sounding and looking great.  Grin

I think the word surreal , does actually capture some of the evening.
There was an almost over politeness from everyone, the applause was warm , but stopped instantly, each time .
The sound was stunning , not just good, and they absolutely nailed the right playlist.
It wasn't a thumping folk rock night, very reserved , and above all the musicians reigned supreme.
They have laid down a standerd for the clangers to follow, and as someone who lives almost under the bell tower, I am pleased about that, though in the bellringers defense, they have been handicapped because of the missing bells.
Thanks again to all, but especially to Fairport.

Hi here is the best photo i took of the evening - sort of captures the atmoshere subdued lighting etc. I would like to point out we were so far back we almost part of the back wall  so that explains the Fairport Convention shaped dots in the distance.

We too were priveleged to be a small part of a very special occasion. Possibly because of the location, it was quite unlike any Fairport gig we've been to before. Many thanks to the chaps for some wonderfully atmospheric music and to Brenda and her team for making us welcome.

Ric's timing  to include the clock striking as Summertime finished has already been mentioned - a word though for Chris who entered into the spirit by including the Cropredy bells in the lyric of Walk Awhile and working a beautiful mandolin peal of bells into MOTL.

I overheard someone  saying that the concert was being filmed and that the video would be sold to raise further funds. There was a video camera on a tripod at the the rear of the church by the bell ropes. Does anyone have any further information on this?

Not being a photographer I'll leave it others to comment properly but  I would have thought that a single camera at the back of the church with the lighting as it looks in the photos above would struggle to capture reasonable quality of video.  Cry

Naturally I hope I'm wrong cause I'll have a copy if there is one going please
