Fairport Convention : Dirty Linen (live 1976)

This line-up of Fairport only lasted 6 months and performed a small number of gigs. They recorded the one LP “Gottle O’Geer“, on which half the band didn’t play - but they’re all playing here! Dave Swarbrick (vcls, vln, autoharp) / Dave Pegg (bs, mandolin) / Dan Ar Bras (gtr) / Roger Burridge (vln, mandolin) / Bob Brady (piano) / Bruce Rowland (drums). “Dirty Linen“ was not recorded by this line-up but by the “Full House“ Fairport six years earlier. Recorded for Rockpalast (German TV) March 23 1976, see for more details. The band was usually just called “Fairport“ at this time but have the full name in the titles and on stage for this set.
