Biography

Fairport Convention were a highly influential English folk-rock band from the late 60s. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1968, but wasn't a commercial success.

3.0 out of 5 stars Collection of Woodworm Recordings, March 5, 2004

If you like a pleasant musical collection of well played English folk songs, then this CD makes a nice introduction to the Fairport of the late 80's and early 90's.
