Just for *one* year, listen to tracks from their history you rarely hear - what's so wrong with that?
I have no problems with that at all Colin. It would appeal to me. The questions are, Could the present band recreate some of them?and Would the majority of a Fairport concert audience want to hear rarer tracks? The other question is: why are you calling Chris "Colin"?  Jules |

I don't think it would affect ticket sales, but agree that pax need to be informed on purchase - which can easily be done in the venue diary blurb & in FC newsletters
Conversely, of course, it might bring back to the audience long-lost fans of the old tracks :-)
The latter would work for me but as you can see from my choices earlier in this thread, they are quite conservative. |

Would the majority of a Fairport concert audience want to hear rarer tracks?
Might not a significant part of the interest be in how a very different lineup approached the material, and hopefully brought something new to it? Wounded Whale, for instance, was certainly a synthesizer/electric guitar tour-de-force, but could it be approached a different way? I dunno, how about a twin electric fiddle feature with Rick playing the whale and Chris the whalers? Didn't the "Unplugged" fashion certainly demonstrated that audiences, suitably briefed, may welcome songs being given radically different treatment to the familiar arrangements? |

... Perhaps a separate thread for suggestions for FC-related bands/artists for Cropredy 2017? I'd propose Steeleye Span, the "Rise Up" Albion Band (no Pickett, obvs), Morris On, RT Band.
(And if a "big draw" is felt to be needed... who?)

Whoops, forgot Trad Arr, and of course the Judy Dyble Band/Trader Horne. And how about a Whippersnapper reunion gig?  |

Yes, that's a good idea. Doubt they'd do it though. |

I'm always amazed this hasn't been done. That's such a fine album. |

Well, Ric Sanders would be up for it : "...I live in permanent hope that configuration [of The Albion Band] will one day reunite and play some shows, not enough people saw us on the one tour we did."(quote from Hinton & Wall's Ashley Hutchings biography Always Chasing Rainbows) |

To these blinkered old ears it's the only bit of folk-rock he's ever been involved in. |

After much deliberation, here we go....
Time will show the wiser
Tale in a hard time
Si Tu dois partir
Come all ye
Crazy man Michael
Sir Patrick Spens
Wizard of the worldly game
Rosie
Bring em down
Stranger to himself
One more chance
Run Johnny run
Set me up
Summer before the war
Wounded whale
Naked highwayman
Western wind
Over the falls
South Dakota to Manchester
Festival bell
Much harder than I first thought!
