That's right ... and yet most of us would regard Nine as a classic Fairport album (I've always thought some of Side 2 is a bit dodgy but still ...) .

Just in case anyone would like to share a taxi from Banbury to the Brase on Wednesday for the TradArr gig..
I'm not looking forward to trying to park in the village.
If anyone has suggestions about parking/ sharing driving I'd be grateful.

We've done it in the opposite direction 4 years ago and it was very reasonable. Only about a fiver. |

I've asked this question on Fairporters as well..do we know if Ric is really a Deadhead (Andy's got a very nice pic of him in his Deadhead attire) or is his appearance in a Dead shirt of a similar ilk to the Kardashian family wearing Crass tees? I've certainly never heard him mentioning the band before...

I couldn't tell you exactly where, but I remember him years ago saying that he got very much into the Dead as a young man. My ears prick up at such things, as I've been a major lover of GD since I was in my teens. |

My guess is he genuinely is. I have certainly heard him mention his love of other San Francisco area bands of the era and at the warm up he was talking about It's A Beautiful Day as a favourite, prompted by the recent passing of one of their members. I can see how the cosmic jazz elements of the Dead's sound would be right in Ric's wheelhouse. I think I'll go and play some Dead now on this sunny day. Maybe From The Mars Hotel. |

Probably my favourite album of theirs, although I freely admit I haven't played any of their albums for 10+ years. "Burgers", by Hot Tuna, though gets played regularly. |

Not seen it before. Looks like the graphic style Gong used. It could just be an amateur run but I've got a feeling I've seen the graphic before. Can't place it though. |

It looks like a Roger Dean Yes/Osibisa design to me.
I find it familiar also, too.

Badge machines are quite cheap and graphics easy to find online. Not saying this a fake though. I know someone who made a lot for school fetes and the like. |

1969 Praise Be. Maybe one of the band is a fan.... When did it first appear for Fairport? "Nine" I think? |

Yes, although it hasn't always been used since - "Rising For The Moon" & "Bonny Bunch of Roses" didn't, although they're possibly the only exceptions of the mainstream releases. Some compilations don't, EG "The Classic Collection". |

Funnily enough my copies use the Kloster Xmas Special font for the band's name, but google shows earlier versions without, so some albums have been retconned.
