I know it’s been signposted a million times, but can someone direct me to the post on how to upload photos? (Apols for being a Luddite!)

Somewhat coincidentally, give the date yesterday, I stumbled upon some live recordings yesterday (discs purchased a long time ago - I know, I know - from someone who used to be around these parts and who always claimed they were sold with the authority and knowledge of 'one (ex) of the band'.  I'm fairly sure they weren't.).

Anyway, are all of these widely circulated - I've not spent a lot of time in the company of collectors in the last decade or so?

Incidentally, I've also (re-)discovered a Solid Silver Fairport badge.  Advertised in the Cropredy programme of (I think) '84, (p.34 of which I've got a photocopy of the page, alongside the famed scanty panties at £1 a pair) this was priced at £12 at the time (£36 at todays money - "..."or for those with slightly more expensive tastes") and was made by Steve Link of Link & Jackson, Vyse Street, Brum.

Drop me a line if anyone is interested in it before I shove it up on Fleabay.

[Incidentally, if anyone could check their Cropredy programmes and confirm whether it is '84, that would be much appreciated...it's p.34]

It doesn't really fit my collecting policy - one has to sell to accumulate, Bridget.  Then again I've had it nearly forty years, I'll probably be buried with it  Grin

There are a number of YouTube videos showing you how to repurpose various items of underwear into face masks!

I am reliably informed that Fairport & Lindisfarne were covered in yesterday's edition of Pointless. Watch this space until I catch up with Catchup  Wink
