aloha molly,

yup...fairport (after sandy denny left btw) was the best band without someone who could sing...(old joke)..iirc the line up was Thompson, swarbrich, nicol, pegg and mattacks.
they have a live disc called "HOUSE FULL" recorded in la on the same tour with this
lineup...i did the stage manager thingee at philly folk festival that year- the band was
absolutely great...they rocked out big time-sir patrick spens et al. with david swarbrick singing matty groves...i think it was 1971 maybe...very PHAT guitars.

with the exception of buffalo springfield and the beattles i think i saw everyone i wanted to see. ( and i gave away my tickets to the doors show in new haven...'blood in the streets of new haven') and (zepplin sucked...really, they could hardly play the tunes)

and oh...suggestion...you ought to acquire for yourself Tracy Nelson and Maria d'Amato
Muldaur- if you haven't found 'em already.
