Genre: Folk
Places I remember: The Warehouse Whangarei
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: London River is a great singalong!
A live version during a 1990 full concert is great viewing as well. Go to the 29.09 minute mark for all the fun.
Gear costume: Red and Gold
Active compensatory factors: Unlike Steeleye Span and Lindisfarne, Fairport Convention is an English electric folk band that I've never really cottoned on to. Maybe the forever shifting line ups (checkout the list here) without a charismatic front person post Denny, or maybe the lack of a killer couple of tunes. It all contributes.
I picked up this live momento from a tour in the early nineties cheaply from The Warehouse and it's okay, but nothing that special. From a tour without a female vocalist, they really miss the variety and strong presence of a Sandy Denny type.
Where do they all belong? Along with Fotheringay and the Spans.
