This review is from: Moat on the Ledge (MP3 Download)
This is really a great find. The Full House lineup reunites, plus Rowlands (presumably on additional percussion~ Mattacks is on full power himself) in 1981. Amazing that these exact guys hadn't played together in ten years, and they haven't missed a beat; impossibly tight for a one-off performance. They're as intense on Poor Will & the Jolly Hangman & Matty Groves as they were on House Full from '70. Thompson & Swarbick have some fierce duets on the jigs (Brilliancy Melody/Cherokee Shuffle). Country Pie is fun, too, and it smokes musically. On top of all this, as another even rarer bonus, Judy Dyble (re-)joins the band to sing "Both Sides Now," Fairport's very first single from 1967 (and, you guessed it, her voice sounds like a dove). The real deal here, these guys are just great, I guess.

This review is from: Moat on the Ledge: Live at Broughton Castle (Audio CD)
This is a record of the first of what developed into Fairport Convention's annual Cropredy Festival - still going strong, twenty-seven years down the road.
Having broken up in 1979, the Fairports decided to get together and do a reunion show. And it just sort of all grew from there. Reformed in 1987 as a performing unit, Fairport (like their festival) is still going strong. This is not necessarily the best-recorded album, but it's got Good Stuff on it.
