I found this on Judy's Facebook page, where someone had found it on YouTube and posted it. It shows a very young
Fairport Convention doing their thing back in the days when folk music was only one of the influences that had been chucked into their cultural melting pot, and the days of being the founding fathers of British folk rock were far in the future.
Watching this video you can see where the people who described the early
Fairport Convention as being akin to the British version of
Jefferson Airplane were coming from. On a personal level it is weird to see this, because Judy on
April 27, 1968 when the show was first broadcast is the spitting image of a girl called Sandra who I went out with when I was a student in the early 1980s.
Weird huh?
