Subject: RE: Fairport on BBC4 Tonight
'Folk rock was a half-baked idea that had a few great moments but has outstayed its welcome by about 35 years.'

So says 'Guest' in the post above, 15 Sep 12 - 10:08 PM. Try telling that to the thousands that flock to Cropredy every year, or to the fans of the likes of Oysterband or the Demon Barbers, who sell out everywhere they perform, or those good people who rammed the festival marquee and bought bucketloads of CD's at Swanage Folk Festival this year when we performed.

And just to add another to the list above of Fairport's TV appearances, they did a televised concert in the (otherwise dreadful) series 'Cue the Music' presented by Pete Waterman, I've still got the video somewhere!
