As per Dave Pegg's idea in his Talkawhile Guest role, can we come up with a decent title for the next album?

My initial suggestion: "Friendly Heroes"... but I'm sure you can do better!

  suggestion for the new album title,  RubiConvention

40 years = Ruby anniversary

Rubicon definition:     take a decisive step

Synonyms:    bite the bullet, choose one's fate, jump in with both feet, leap into the breach, leave a crossroads, make one's move, pass the Rubicon, prendre la balle au bond, take for better or worse, take the bull by the horns, take the plunge

40 Cricks ?
40 Winks ?

Keep the engine running postiljohn  Wink

Seriously though, I think 'Life Begins' is an excellent suggestion.

Torn between "Life Begins" and "RubiConvention".  Both excellent suggestions.

On balance, I think that I'd go for the latter as Martin's reasoning is flawless!

I'm not sure that it's a good idea to keep focussing on longevity. 'XXXV' 'Over the (next) hill'

As for positive ideas  Huh

I think Simon once said that Fairport's albums were the musical equivilent of postcards home, letting people know what the band were about at any particular time. My nomination therefore is:

Postcards Home.

I agree, in my previous post I was only trying to improve on Jims suggestion.

I hope they come up with something completely different & not something that plays on their longevity.
