Fairport Convention are the pre-eminent Folk Rock band of all time. Their album "Leige and Leif" is recognized as the most important Folk-Rock album ever and has sold in excess of 2 million copies.
This very special 2 CD, 25th Anniversary concert was performed at their annual festival in Banbury in 1992 and features a wealth of guests including Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant, All About Eve's Julianne Regan, legendary singer songwriter Ralph McTell and many past members of Fairport Convention such as Dave Swarbrick, Jerry Donahue, Ashley Hutchings and Bruce Rowland.
This album has never been on sale by distribution before through the shops only having had a limited edition release by mail order over 15 years ago. So sales potential from the Fairport faithful on this their 40th anniversary year is fantastic.
2007 marks the 40th anniversary of the band and at their own annual festival, Cropredy their will be in excess of 25,000 attending. The original line-up (sadly missing the late Sandy Denny who died in 1979) will reform to perform "Liege and Leif". With Anniversaries in the air - this 25th release will prove very popular for all Fairport fans.
