While they're not "bad" songs as such, I really don't enjoy much of the band's Excalibur pieces; however, my least favourite FC song has to be "London River"... what were they thinking of?

Rosie

It's awful  Sad


No No sorry I won't have it... I'll allow you to say its twee... but not that its awful!

Remember when Skirky James and band - Songs From the Blue House -recorded it for Cancer Research UK?  No its a great song and not awful!

Oh Rob. We have found the point where we disagree. Not really a Fairport song I'll grant you but I like it none the less. Closer to some of what RT was doing at the time, albeit not in his league. Catchy as hell though (despite the mysogyny).

I think we have disagreed before. I'll grant you the rockier aspect of it but I guess for me what you say is the reason why-not really a Fairport song IMHO

What is it with people not liking this song?  It was one of my candidates for a favourite song by a non-member!


Same for me!!!

If I had an issue with the song it would be that it is a bit cliched, personally it always puts a smile on my face but I like Huw and Tony's arrangement. I must listen to that album I haven't listen to it in ages.

And a great bass line. In fact I think its one of the better tracks from a lacklustre album.

Night Time Girl is particularly awful.

Jules


I agree and particularly because it interrupts the flow of the album. Maybe if it was on Rosie alongside Hungarian Rhapsody or Me With You it wouldn't seem quite so bad?

Hmmm, is Festival Bell worse than that Uke thing? Festival Bell I think, by a short head.
