Fairport Convention - "Unhalfbricking" (1969)
This recent reissue on Elemental Music sounds amazing. Until now, I hadn't understood just how badly I needed this on vinyl. Every song is etched in my brain, yet it sounds so new.

Are there missing verses from #FairportConvention's version of #TamLin? Because it goes from "I'll go where I damn well please whether you like it or not!" to "I think you're pregnant, love," without anything in between in the nature of things that usually lead to pregnancy. #EasilyDistracted

Hello Swarbrick! This is ...it's Liege & Lief. This is the band on all cylinders, for sure, stepping it up. This is the first of probably 100 records I have that DM plays drums on. #FairportConvention #NowPlaying #vinyl

Unhalfbricking. I mean. This is a solid album too. Fun fact, the Cajun-ized Dylan cover in French, "Si Tu Dois Partir" was enough of a hit for them to be on Top Of The Pops which leads to the hilarious trivia question - "The only time Richard Thompson was on Top of The Pops, what instrument was he playing?" A: Accordion. This record really shows what a loss Lamble was. Bye Ian or Iain or whatever. I loved him! More than the band I think #vinyl #NowPlaying #FairportConvention

So long Judy (R.I.P. - I loved Judy Dyble) and hello Sandy. This could be my favorite Fairport Convention record which I KNOW DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. What We Did On Our Holidays. #NowPlaying #vinyl #FairportConvention

Second #BritishFolkRevival included #BritishFolkRock
British folk rock developed in Britain during the mid- to late 1960s by the bands #FairportConvention and #Pentangle, #FiveHandReel, #SteeleyeSpan and the #AlbionBand, which built on elements of #AmericanFolkRock.
Tell me if you hear the variation on a computer game theme in the intro to this #FairportConvention song "If I Had a Ribbon Bow"…

The king sat in Dunfermline town
Drinking of the blood red wine
"Where can I get a good sea captain
To sail this mighty ship of mine?"

[1975] Fairport Convention: The Man They Couldn't Hang - In 1975, the BBC produced a version of Fairport's “Babbacombe” Lee for television, entitling it The Man They Couldn't Hang. This featured narration by Melvin Bragg, broadsides by Martin Carthy, and most of the songs from the record by an unusual Fairport line-up (Donahue / Nicol / Mattacks / Pegg / Swarbrick).
#OldBritishTelly #fairportconvention #babbacombelee
Peter, Paul and Mary are just a sanitised music industry version of what folk music is really about.
Marvel in the musicianship of Swarbrick, Thompson, Mattacks, Pegg and Nicol.
