    Here's an interesting live version - not great quality but the energy is there

    what does a location have to do with the fitness of the squad? It's how they are trained, the diet and amount of work they put in that counts

    Oooh I've got it bad now. Have a listen to this live version of Budapest. Stunning guitar work and featuring two long term Fairport Convention guys - Dave Pegg and Maartin Allcock. Maart has sadly been diagnosed with liver cancer and makes his final live performance this month at Cropredy

    Didn’t a lot of the players sign after the training camp? Therefore wouldn’t have gone on the trip anyway?

    And I wouldn’t say it was the full squad who had fitness issues. Potts & Thiam who signed late, McGeehan who was recovering from a broken leg & had a different pre-season to the rest & George Moncur who we can only assume doesn’t live right as he’s the same every season.

    Don’t think the rest of them were lacking.

    Sad news about Marrt . Towards the end of his time with Tull I got the impression at concerts that him and Ian weren't getting on .
    Confirmed with the improved rapore with THE Andy Giddings .
    The only time I saw Fairport was at a small venue of about 200 and met Dave Pegg .
    In the gents of course . I was washing my hands when a foundation shaking fart roared out .
    Turned round and it was Peggy .

    I met Peggy,Simon Nicol, Dave Swarbrick and Martin Carthy at two different Nettlebed Folk Club nights. Would have loved to have seen Ian Anderson guesting at a Fairport gig! With acts like this the smaller venues are best. I prefer to be up close to musicians, not so far away that you have to watch them on a video screen.

    They get thousands at the Cropredy weekend but I never saw them play better than in front of a couple of hundred at Nettlebed.

    To be fair Ian doesn’t get on with many! There was an ongoing joke that you could play a full game of cricket with the former members of Tull.
