Fairport Convention were one of the most innovative and influential British bands of the late 1960's and are still recording and touring today. The lead singer during their greatest period was Sandy Denny who was in my opinion the greatest female vocalist of that or any era. The enormous emotional range of her voice has been unsurpassed by any other singer. Sandy died tragically in 1978 of a cerebral haemorrhage after falling down a flight of stairs.

Fairport Convention - Matty Groves

Rare, earliest performance of this great band with original vocalist Judy Dyble. She would soon be replaced by Sandy Denny. Judy was very underrated! This song though has Ian Matthews on lead vocals. Richard Thompson, Ashley Hutchings, Simon Nicol, and Martin Lamble are the other members during this time.

Live from an outdoor concert in 1970. Sandy Denny is already gone and Richard Thompson would soon leave. Still, this is a very beautiful song and music clip.

One of the most beautiful songs ever made. From the album Unhalfbricking (1969). (Music of UMG) You must philosophise But why must you bore me to tears? You're red around the eyes You tell me things no one else hears You spend all your time crying Crying the hours in tears Crying the hours into years Come lend your time to me And you will know that you are free And when you look at me Don't think you're owning what you see For remember that you're free And that's what you want to be So just lend your time to me You must philosophise But why must you bore me to tears? You're red around the eyes You tell me things no one else hears You spend all your time crying Crying the hours in tears Crying the hours in to ears (Sandy Denny)

Fairport Convention's version of this poignant traditional song marks a pivotal point in the development of folk-rock, representing as it does a brilliant fusion of a traditional form with all the dynamic, exploratory approach of modern rock playing. The song had been a part of Sandy Denny's repertoire when she joined Fairport. As a traditional song it had been known in many forms. A Sailor's Life starts as a plaintive lament on the fickleness of sailors and the agonised waiting endured by their sweethearts until their return. The terrible irony of her rather bitter condemnation of the sailor's life as 'merry' is brought home by the subsequent tragedy. The singer extols her beloved's virtues before she sets off to find him. She hails a passing ship and is told that he is feared drowned. Beside herself with grief and despair, she runs her boat against a rock. This could be seen as a metaphor for another tragedy as she takes her own life. The song then echoes the stormy course of the bereaved woman's grief, as it takes off into a passage of terrific ensemble playing, all instruments interweaving, building to an overwhelming intensity, before settling to a sombre resolution. There are echoes of everything from dirges to hornpipes in an extraordinary composition. The Unhalfbricking album, from which A Sailor's Life comes, foreshadowed the more overtly folk-rock album Liege & Lief, often considered a classic of its kind. The title Unhalfbricking was taken from a word Sandy <b>...</b>

Part 3 of the 1968 Bouton Rouge French tv show. Featuring the original Fairport Line up of Judy Dyble, Iain Matthews, Simon Nicol, Tyger Hutchings, Richard Thompson, and the late Martin Lamble. Staggering, rarely seen performance, capturing the band in there very early, and now often said best period. Enjoy.

From their debut Album recorded in 1967 and released in 68 this was the original incarnation of Fairport convention with Ashley Hutchings, Richard Thompson, Simon Nicol, Martin Lamble, Judy Dyble and Iain Matthews. At the time aluding more to American folk rock sutch as the Byrds and Dylan and due to the duel vocals of Judy Dyble and Iain Matthews they were dubbed the brittish Jefferson Airplane. To learn more just look them up on Wikipedia ;). This is my version of the TV footage that exists of them which is unfortunately pretty poor quality. Although the original footage is actually a live recording (quite a bit faster) there wasnt really much i could do with my copy so I replaced it with the original Album version which was more or less the same (albeit slightly slower) as the live recording . The only thing you really miss is Richard Thomson's slightly different guitar licks here and there but I'm sure you'll agree he sounds phenominal on the album recording anyway. I made this in order to give people who are unfamiliar with early fairport convention to get a treat for their ears so Im afraid the video in this case is still a bit of a sow's ear. ie I couldnt make much of a silk purse out of it ;) Hope you enjoy it and as always if you own the rights to the video and would like me to remove it please contact me. Enjoy!

Across the purple sky all the birds are leaving Sandy Denny's home demo recording as she writes this amazing song, later recorded with Fairport Convention and covered by many artists including Eva Cassidy, Nina Simone, Nanci Griffith. I've put together this compilation of photos and sleeve art from Sandy Denny's all too brief career, with Fairport Convention and beyond, to mark what would have been her 60th birthday 06/Jan/2007 and try to celebrate her amazing talent. The soundtrack is Sandy's home demo recording of her own song 'Who Knows Where The Time Goes' circa 1967, from the hard-to-find demos compilation CD 'Borrowed Thyme' and I've tried to pick pictures and transitions to suit it. It's my first attempt to make or upload one of these, hope it works OK.... Pete

Written by Richard Thompson to the tune of Willie O' Winsbury. The voice is Sandy Denny. From the Fairport's "Liege & Lief" album 1969. Lyrics: Farewell, farewell to you who would hear You lonely travellers all The cold north winds will blow again The winding road does call. And will you never return to see Your bruised and beaten sons OI would,I would if welcome I were For they loathe me every one. And will you never cut the cloth Or drink the light to be And can you never swear a year To anyone but we. No I will never cut the cloth Or drink the light to be But I'll swear a year to one who lies Asleep alongside of me.

From a program called Celebration (Granada TV, UK) in August 1981. This featured the then-disbanded Fairport Convention reformed for the occasion - the Full House line-up plus Linda Thompson, and brass band in this case. The song is the title track of the Thompsons' classic 1974 album. Yes, the video quality is crap but unfortunately, I'm yet to see any better!

30 years ago, Steeleye Span gave me a chance to find traditional music. My most favorite Trad band. But I can tell you honestly the greatest British Trad band is not this band . It is Fairport Convention. With my mortification, Fairport Convention is on a high level from Steeleye Span. Fairport Convention has the highest stataus of British Trad. It is fact that Steeleye Span themseves is offshot from Fairport Convention.

The Hiring Fair is one of my favourite songs, written by Ralph McTell and performed by Fairport Convention. You can find this particular version on their Cropredy 98 CD. The clips are taken from Tess (1979) and Far From The Madding Crowd (1998), both adaptations of Thomas Hardy novels.
