From 21.00 on Friday 14 September, BBC Four will be showing an uninterrupted 6 hours for Fairport Convention/Richard Thompson!
Over the last 12 months, BBC Four have been making a documentary of Fairport Convention "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" to tie in with the band's 45th anniversary.
2100
1st Transmission - Fairport Convention: Who Knows Where The Time Goes?
2200
1st Transmission - Fairport Convention Live in Concert from Union Chapel 2012

First two items are then repeated (making up the 6 hours)

In case anyone's wondering what happened to the recording of the Sandy tribute show from the Barbican, that one's now scheduled for 9 November on BBC Four.

Quote from BBC4 comment 'Today, having struggled for years with numerous line-up changes (26 members to date)' Doesn't look too promising for the accuracy of the documentary |

From FC website merchandising page
'This is the Fairport Convention 45th Anniversary 'Caricature' Tee Shirt design.
Available in Black, the Mick Toole design has cartoon caricatures of all 25 current and former members of Fairport Convention on the front.'
But wikipaedia shows 26 members in it's timeline but only 25 in the list of current and former members - Timi Donald being the addition in the timeline and omitted from the T-shirt
So it looks like BBC4 does its research on wikipaedia

Ooh! I didn't know about these tees until now. I want one! But, alas, they are all sold out.  Jules |

Jules they sold out at the festival, but they have had more made and they are still available (I think I nearly accidentally bought two while I was checking....  ) http://www.fairportconvention.com/catalogue.php?cmsCategoryID=12&DisplayType=DisplayCatContents |

Not wanting to get into an argument, but I wouldn't get too het up about the 25 or 26 numbers....its hardly a definition of inaccuracy (if such a thing can exist!). I mean there are people who have played live on stage as part of Fairport Convention and aren't on the t-shirt and then someone who never played live and never (officially) released any product who is. It's not exactly 'written in tablets of stone (or 100% cotton)' I don't think...

If you include everyone who played on the Rosie album for example, the numbers increase significantly. Or Gottle O'Geer for that matter.

And then there's the singers on Danny Boy in the Cropredy Box from 1997. The numbers run in the 1000s!

To be fair, the full sentence is 'Today, having struggled for years with numerous line-up changes (26 members to date) and shifting musical fashions, these ageing folk-rockers host their annual festival in Cropredy, Oxfordshire in front of a passionate 20,000 crowd.'
And they did have many line up changes, many of which are frequently discussed here, not all positively either. Wasn't 1979 supposed to be a farewell?

1979 was the first time that I saw them.. so glad it wasn't farewell in reality!  |

Indeed-Timi Donald to me was just a hired hand for the Rosie album. Cathy Lesurf sang a song on Glady's Leap, there have been the occasional added bits by horn players, Anna Ryder on accordion and other instruments, didn't Mark Tucker play electric on I Wandered By A Brookside on XXXV....the list would go on and on.... |

According to the Radio Times blurb about the Union Chapel show, Fairport will be playing their "greatest hits"! |
