Thread Name: Fairport on BBC4 Tonight
Subject: RE: Fairport on BBC4 Tonight
Fairport were booked to appear on Colour Me Pop on BBC2 TV (in colour!) in late 1969. However, they were unable to appear - I imagine that Sandy Denny had just left.

Undeterred, the BBC played Sir Patrick Spens from a radio session, with Sandy Denny singing and Swarb playing too. That was presumably from the Peel session of 27 September 1969. It deserved a place on Heyday but eventually emerged on Live at the BBC.
