Didn't know Fairport are still playing! Last saw them at UEA (Norwich)in 1974. The lovely Sandy Denny was with them then, doing wonderful things on the grand piano in the Students' Union (do they still have them in SUs these days I wonder?). Their song "To Althea from Prison" is one of my favourites - Lovelace's poetry probably isn't the greatest in the English language, but it's message is inspiring - nothing can prevent love.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14380927252640519190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749076668428822511.post-27606835695175650712012-02-16T21:10:40.963+00:002012-02-16T21:10:40.963+00:00Great blog, lovely pictures and as NW Nature Nut s...Great blog, lovely pictures and as NW Nature Nut stated, beautiful and poetic.
