- 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. Very rare footage of this line-up.
Swarb truly was the Prince of the Fiddle R.I.P. old milkman !
Such a truly amazing musician. RIP Dave . Yku are sadly missed
Fairport Convention has been great throughout the years no matter which musicians comprised the group.✌
1st September 2020 completely by random chance I have just had coffee with George the roadie in Costa Coffee Tamworth. He doesn't look a day older (he told me to say) :-)
Peggy, bass player of the gods!
Simon Nicol... Rock God!!
That was awesome!!! We all love you, Dave Swarbrick!
I love this line up. They were obviously having a whale of a time here! I couldn't help smiling from start to finish. Thank u for sharing this gem.

What a line up of pure talent.
Amazing band , Amazing musicians. First class stuff !
Great fun from a great band with a great history. Great!
See, not all folk music leads to suicide.Thanks again for sharing these gems.
Three chairs for George ! Deserved a heartier response.
Simon Shreds!!! Amazing!!!!!
Love stage acting....Peggy and looks fun with Simon too...
Utterly wonderful.. Dave Pegg one of my favourite bass players.. I m delighted the lads were into Flann O Brien.. The Jams O Donnell reference is from The Poor Mouth( An Béal Bocht) for me his funniest book... Even funnier in the original Irish language he wrote it in
i was lucky enough to see this line up at a festival they were brillant
First footage I've seen of Simon Nicol playing an electric guitar solo.
For Simon, that's pretty crazy stuff.
Get the Live in Finland album Barry...;)
@@brianparker663 I'll check it out Brian.
.. a perfectly working line up. Didn't know they performed such an excellent set (Flowers of the forest - Kenzie - Ditching Boy - Jigs) in this line-up
...And a great time was obviously had by all! This is great fun! Thank you SO MUCH for posting!
Always love the ending to this..only Bruce knew what was happening ...Swarb Peggy and Si expected more...maybe Bruce was off to the pub
folk rock show!!!
Simon doing a passable Wilko Johnson!
If I didn't know better I'd say this was Gentle Giant.
Excellent! Remember seeing them in Aberdeen performing as simply Fairport on the Chug-a-Lug tour.
This is interesting. I've never seen them before as a quartet. I always saw them as a quintet or sextet. They have so many inacrnations.
Simon does a great pastiche of the guitar hero !
Fine video. Thanks for the this upload!
Great stuff!
Fun! And great playing. A very other band from that the year before, "gottle o geer" band, that band did not hang together.
I remember the first time I heard this. It was on a bootleg CD of a Jethro Tull performance during the time that Peggy was in the band. They played it whilst Ian Anderson to a break from the stage. The idiot that made the sleeve notes misheard the title and listed it as Donald’s Chicks.
Dave Swarbrick in his look like Geoffrey Hayes from childrens TV show Rainbow period !! ..or Vice Versa..
He was always getting bounced out of pubs... The crowd would see them pulling out instruments,they would all shout "Kick out the jams!" and it all went downhill from there.
Fabulous. Wish Simon had went a bit mad more often!
Swarbrick was an innovator along with Simon Nicol, Dave Pegg, Bruce Rowland, and before that, Richard Thompson in Fairport. They brought a Folk Rock Psychedelia to the Musical Hippie Experiment that happened BITD. ALTBSBIPIO * * A Light That Burned So Brightly It Put Itself Out.
I am very new to FC but I love them, a question please: was Richard Thompson not with them at this time?
No, R.T. left in 1970, and was doing his own thing for years, still is. I think there were a few one off gigs here and there, but who knows? They probably don't even know themselves.
No Richard had left by the early 70s...he did join up occasionally over the yrs for the odd gig usually at Cropredy
Great clip! Shame about the interlacing
Phwat is yer nam?
Me nam is Jams O’Donnell!
And the first and only Vertigo album, was it?
Tipplers Tales also on Vertigo....:)

Hi chris Richard Thompson left in the early years , Sandy Denny also , she came back with Fairport her husband Trevor Lucas also there , Richard comes back at there annual croperdy weekend aka folk weekend . The line ups for the band change a lot in the 70s slowed down in the 80s to the present line up , unfortunately Judy dyball the first women to play for Fairport died this year kind regards Peter
