Fairport Convention? Hmm not actually familiar with their work, but Fairground attraction are no tribute band. Great songwriter who's name I forget, and the bonny and fantastically voiced Eddi Reader as lead singer. Biggest hit was the aforementioned "Perfect", (It was picked up for Asda commercials, "Its got to be e e e e e e...perfect") Acrimonious split eg Eddi Reader has said the first she knew of the commercial was hearing someone else sign the hook on telly.

I'm sure she was on Aly Bain's superb Transatlantic Sessions and therefore might have some tracks on the CD
