Fairport Convention
Fairport Convention are an English folk rock band, formed in 1967 by guitarists Richard Thompson and Simon Nicol, bassist Ashley Hutchings and drummer Shaun Frater (with Frater replaced by Martin Lamble after their first gig.) They started o ...
in 1969. The band was short-lived, and broke up in 1971 after only a small number of tracks for this album had been completed, some of which then subsequently appeared on other compilations. The remainder were assembled (posthumously in the cases of Denny and
Trevor Lucas), with additional studio recording as needed, from masters in various states of completeness by
Jerry Donahue and finally released in 2008. Two songs originally worked on for this album (''John the Gun'' and ''Late November'') were re-recorded and appeared on the first solo Denny album ''
The North Star Grassman and the Ravens'' in 1971, while live versions of others had previously been known to collectors from recordings of BBC radio broadcasts and live concerts, as subsequently compiled on the 2015 release ''Nothing More: The Collected Fotheringay''.
