Comment

Another BBC Radio Broadcast, only about 45 minutes long, but with some interesting material. Richard Thompson guests and does an excellent version of Sandy Denny's 'John the Gun'. Also a rare live outing for 'To Althea From Prison'.

This is from the period when Fairport were not a full time band, so the basic lineup was the one that split in 1979:
Simon Nicol
Dave Pegg
Dave Swarbrick
Bruce Rowland

The other guest here was Cathy Le Surf on 'Day Trip To Bangor' (Oh Dear....)
