Fairport Convention/West Germany 1976

This is a professional shot live video of Fairport Convention. The band has had frequent member changes, and in 1976, without Richard Thompson, Simon Nicol, or Sandy Denny, the band sounds a little plain, but their Brit-trad-like sound, mainly based on fiddle (violin) and mandolin, is still alive and well. The fiddle battle between Dave Swarvrick and Roger Burridge is well worth listening to. Recorded Live at WDR Studio L, Koln, West Germany, March 23, 1976 PRO-Shot52 min 01. Intro 02.
