Personally, I much prefer Simon Nicol's voice to Sandy Denny's (it might be a result of the fact I was brought up to this collection of Fairport members) and I love this arrangement. I do think there are better CD and live versions around though. That being said, this is still my favourite song of all time and I think it would be pretty difficult to beat.

Dave Pegg = bass monster!!!!! Superb underated bassist.

Just kidding. Looked as if a good time was had by all. Wish I'd have been there.

@SlightlySusan OLDER men like to hide their bellies and big butts. Well they think it hides them. What's up with the Guy/Gal in the sweaty blue T-shirt. I enjoy that ballad but I couldn't understand all of his singing. Must have been late on a hot day...you know how pawpaw gets in hot weather.

I think the lead singer gives lie to the idea (held by me) that men of a certain age are unattractive. I like Earnest Hemingway types. Just wish he hadn't worn a Hawaiian shirt. Jeez Louise! Why is that men of certain age wear them? Oh, well, at least he doesn't have a soul patch.

Phil Freeman

Although the holiday in the song is not specified, internal evidence would suggest it was the local Cabbage Festival. We know this from the second verse: "...she cast her eyes about and there she spied little Matty Groves walking through the kraut."

This is a pretty cool live version. I've seen these guys live and they're simply amazing.

Thank you posting this clip.... One of my all time favourites.

The original recording sounds like a jam. This also sounds like a jam.

I've loved all the different ways they've played this down the years, but my favourite was with Maartin Alcock, big guitar intro and all!

SysCrusher

I completely agree. what's with the funk slap bass? Jeez.

muxz0r

this version needs the electric guitars badly

sonor23

Need Mattacks !

FroMarty

dont really like how the drums stop and the bass just rings every new verse. I like the relentlessness of the original.

kathete

there is nothing... nothing like dancing to this song at the cropredy festival with a load of other people. Class always and forever! Thanks Fairport.
