1968 guitar freak-out, man! Pretty much the first incarnation of one of my favourite ’folk-rock’ (sic) bands of all time (at this stage of their career they were known as the British Jefferson Airplane), featuring Judy Dyble (replaced the next year by Sandy Denny) and Ian MacDonald (Ian Matthews)(who later scored a #1 hit with Joni Mitchell’s ’Woodstock’ as Matthews Southern Comfort) on vocals, and the world famous singer/songwriter/guitarist Richard Thompson, as well as Tyger Hutchings, Simon Nicol and Martin Lamble, who sadly died on 12th May 1969, aged only 19, after Fairport’s van crashed on the M1 motorway. Richard Thompson’s girlfriend Jeannie Franklyn was killed too, the rest of the band escaped with minor injuries (Sandy was not in the van, she’d got a lift home from someone else).
Written by Richard Farina. From the bands first album ’Fairport Convention’ featuring Ian MacDonald (later known as Ian Matthews), Richard Thompson, Judy Dyble, Simon Nicol
