Fairport Convention : Royal Seleccion no.13 / Adieu Adieu (Scotland c1976)

Dave Swarbrick, Simon Nicol, Dave Pegg and Bruce Rowland live on Scottish TV - sources give the year as 1976 although it may be late that year, or sometime in 1977. These two pieces appeared on the Bonny Bunch Of Roses LP in '77. Very rare footage of this line-up.

Bruce Rowland is fading slowly...going to his reward in the big reunion in the sky.

Wonderful drummer.

[@chriswarren3090]

Would this have been around the same time as the legendary "April Fools Joke".....??

Judging by the beard/no mustache look, I take it this was filmed during Dave Pegg's Amish phase.
