Commanding wins there for Rise Up & Full House.

Apologies for the lack of tally here. I didn't write it down, forgot it immediately and can't be bothered to count it all again.  Embarrassed

Anyway the, perhaps slightly predictable final is:

Rise Up Like The Sun vs Full House

Last year's FC Cup finalists take on some familiar looking opponents. Think it might be close one.

Final whistle Sunday evening.

I hadn't predicted it!  My vote's for Full House.  (I'm presuming we're talking the version with Poor Will included.)

Rise Up Like The Sun vs Full House

FC centre forward Sloth manages to out run Albion counterpart Poor Old Horse to score in the last minute of extra time to take the title.

In a rather predictable way I say:



Rise Up Like The Sun vs Full House


But it was a close run thing.

Full House.  Not even close.

We need to do one of these tournaments without the predictable winners included.

That's kind of what I tried to do by excluding last year's winners and bringing in guest artists and yet...

I do have an idea though to bring in some very heavy hitters for the next tournament and stir things up a bit.

Meanwhile my vote goes to Rise Up Like The Sun. Fairport brought me into this music and Full House is my favourite of their records  but Rise Up for me is the pinnacle of the folk rock genre, outstripping even Liege & Lief, a towering achievement. Sloth is of course mighty fine but always better in live recordings and for me The Gresford Disaster is its equal and a track that makes my jaw drop on every listen.

Full House is an excellent album, but Rise Up Like the Sun, at points, makes me grin from ear to ear in a way FH just doesn't. It's a monster of an album that should be in everyone's record collection.

I was with you until 'outstripping Liege and Lief'. I Loved Rise Up, i was seeing a lot of Ashley and Tams in stuff at the National Theatre at the time but trite as it may be, L and L was a seminal album which took me in to different musical genres.

 Rise Up for me- by a whisker. Smiley

Full House is dear to my heart, but Rise Up has it all, and the extended version has icing on it!

Without meaning to go further off topic, L&L wasn't that great an album IMO. Influenial, yes, but compare it with both RULTS and Full House (or No Roses, or many, many other albums), then it's not that great. L&L IMO was very much testing the water, and much better things followed it.

It's ok, I didn't bother taking my coat off.

Ollie i agree with you and i will probably now sound like an old f**t.[if the cap fits......] Yes Lo L was testing the water but there really had been nothing English like it before.(you could argue the Byrds and the Band were already going down an electric folk  route in the states)  I was 17ish when it first came out and i heard it, I was already going to folk clubs but they were still a bit reverential and still part of the 'purist' folk revival.] Land L was like putting your finger in the mains and it led me to Nick Drake, John Martyn, Tir na Nog,Keith Christmas,Christy Moore, Fotheringay, Steeleye, Gryphon ,Pentangle Zeppelin ,Tull,Horslips. Planxty etc etc..
No it probably isn;t their best album musically, you are a musician, I'm a drummer and seriously I cannot be that objective, but as a landmark album and a period of my youth  I remember vividly for the excitement of discovering new music, it cannot be topped.
