Thread Name: Fairport Convention still folk-rocking..
Subject: RE: Fairport Convention still folk-rocking..
I'm envious. I've been a fan for years, particularly of the Thompson/Denny era group.
In a club in St Louis a week ago, I saw a young local band open for the headliners, and the local band had a willowly blonde girl singer who had a nice voice but was a bit shy for the lead job. About three songs into their set, the guitar player strums the opening chords for Who Knows Where the Time Goes, and the girl just begins to open out until her voice filled the bar. Nearly put tears in my eyes it sounded so much like Sandy. I thanked her later, and she told me that Fairport was her favorite music, this from a girl of 26. Hope for the future, folks.
