It definitely made the Winter Tour setlist a few years back. Possibly 2009? There or thereabouts anyway. Shame it didn't stay.

I'm almost certain it was 2009 too Greg. |

Totally off topic I know, but deserves repetition... When advertising a Swarb gig a Grimsby paper stated that he had recovered from a 'double heart transplant'    (This is a true story) That's such sloppy journalism. Everyone knows it was a triple heart transplant |

The postie's been! So has mine but he didn't bring any goodies. Just a rather large credit card bill.  |

Haven't bought the CD's yet. I really want to hear them in full, but I always prefer buying the CD's at the gig and listening to them on the way home, so it's likely I'll be doing that again.

Excellent. Saw in live on the Wintour, but there's plenty I'd forgotten. There's some great tweaks in the interpretation from the original. Simon in particular does some interesting things. Surprisingly, there are quite a nice twists even from the Crop 08 version. Will post a proper review when I have it to hand-sat at bar atm.

Brilliant performance and recording ,that may well get more spins than the original chez Bassline. Cell Song is probably Chris' best vocal ever.
My only quibble is the sharp fade of the crowd at the end - surely a bit of standing ovation - huge round of applause would have been more approprite?

Yep it really is terrific. Beautifully performed and recorded and amongst its many pleasures, I don't think Gerry has ever sounded better on a Fairport record.
I wonder which venues it was "taped" at. I'm guessing not Union Chapel.

Info about the venues is the one thing missing. I don't know why, but it would have been nice to know if I was in the audience when any of the versions that ended up on disc were performed (as I was for one track on a Grateful Dead live album, I'm pleased to say). It really is superb, though. |

Great packaging by Mick Toole as well, particularly the "envelope" which holds the disc itself.

Just wondering, is there meant to be a booklet with the new Babbacombe Lee album? (If so, mine hasn't got one).

Mine either so I suspect not. All the info is on the slipcase. |

Wouldn't it have been cool if the pairs of "wrong" letters on the hangman drawings had been SN, DP, CL, RS & GC?
Or maybe I'm missing something...
