‘The Hangman And The Papist’, off the album ‘From The Witchwood’?

Excellent!

Knows a thing or two, that Thompson feller! damn fine songwriter himself.

Saw Fairport shortly after Sandy Denny joined them. Sadly at 50 years distance I can't positively remember if they played that song; I expect they did though - that's good enough for me - it has to be!

...fairly useful on the guitar as well - saw him last year doing half a show electric with band and the other half acoustic solo. And he always does his song about the motorbike when everyone tries to count his fingers or look for where the other guitarist is hiding

Favourite band ever and they came to Worthing Southern Pavilion for the last few years but now it has changed hands I doubt they will be back.

I started playing that one about 7 or 8 years ago - not a not for note copy, obviously - nobody does that! - but a passable cover version nonetheless. Trouble is, every time I see him doing it in a concert on TV or Youtube, the clever bugger does it faster than ever before! It's now about twice the speed of the original studio recording from 1991 - it's kinda hard to keep up!

Saw them at Basingstoke, well you can't have everything
