FAIRPORT CONVENTION
Liege And Lief

‘liege & lief’ introduced a large new audience to the beauty of british folk & still stands today as the definitive british folk-rock album.
this line-up of fairport convention – sandy denny, richard thompson, dave swarbrick, ashley hutchings, simon nicol & dave mattacks – had come together after the tragic death in a tour bus crash of their drummer martin lamble (along with richard thompson’s girlfriend jeannie franklyn). the creation of ‘liege & lief’ saw the band’s grief focused in an outstanding album.
