Hey kids, here’s a minute of pure bliss, Sandy Denny with Fairport Convention in super high quality video, during the era that Faces/Who Producer Glyn Johns was steering the ship……
If the Fairport Convention video above didn’t move you, this vintage footage will finish you off. Today I walked into a bar in Aalborg, Denmark, a young kid with a Devendra Banhart beard said to me, hey, you dig Fairport? Last year, David Swarbrick was standing in that corner, playing solo fiddle and telling Trevor Lucas and Sandy Denny stories. You in town for awhile? I’m touring with Robin Williamson of the Incredible String Band. ok, kid, thanks for the memories, good to know the freaks can still spot me with a clean shave. Must be my scarf and the furry leather jacket….
