Hi. Ian Stephenson here from sunny selby!
I was wondering if somebody could help me out with some home-work I'm stuck on. You might laugh but I'm on the newcastle uni folk & trad music degree and I need to find out about some examples of folk-rock and how it musically developed within the scene. I'm talking about Fairport's Leige & Leif time-scale wise.

What I really need is insight into the influences of folk-rock and how the pioneers started out with the fusion.

Does anyone out there have any pearls of wisdom? Recommend any sites/interviews of early Fairport members talking about their music??

Many thanks,

Ian Stephenson
