lurksalot Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I might dib in for a touch of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el borracho Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 No - I've been to Cropredy about 18 times, but in later years when Fairport Convention came on - we went to the pub Just don't like them anymore since Allcock and Mattacks left.

Someone get that SR505 off him and thrust a Jazz 5 or summat in his hands. Waaaaaay too forward. Aaahh! Thank the Lord! it's finished!

spinynorman Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Seems like they glossed over quite a bit in covering the early years. It did strike me that the english folk rock idea was ok, but just couldn't support talents like Sandy Denny and Richard Thompson for more than one album. I started to get restless when Iain Matthews leaves and by the time Richard goes I've handed the remote to my wife and left her with the Million Pound Drop.

yorks5stringer Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I watched the Richard Thompson prog when I got in from seeing the Plainsong Farewell gig tonight. Weird, as I'd just seen Julian Dawson in the flesh and there he was with RT. Mark Griffith was on very tasty fretless Bass with Plainsong, his other claim to fame apart from playing with everybody since Cliff and far beyond is that he is the man behind the Sue Ryder Bass and other guitars!

wombatboter Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Don't agree.. I quite liked the sound... already people sound too much the same. Great playing by the way.. great phrasing and ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badass Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Yeah I love his 'wild dog treble' sound, as he describes it. I thought it fit perfectly, and yeah great player too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I was gigging last night (and tonight as well) so will have to catch up with it on iPlayer. I'm an SR505 user as well but I think Peggy tends to push the top end a little too far, especially as a pick player, but then it wouldn't do for everyone to sound the same... Bumped into him a few times over the years and I have to say he's one of the nicest blokes you could wish to meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I loved the tone, phrasing , ideas and great playing , for me I find I often tend to listen for the bass , but on this occasion I was struggling to hear anything else . [heresy] if the bass was to come out for parts , great, but it seemed far to prominent in the mix , each to his own though [/heresy] did I really say that !!!!!!

Cosmo Valdemar Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I was happy to hear a track from Babbacombe Lee, but most of it was a bit meh. Bring back Mattacks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymondo Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I read an interview with Mr Pegg in one of the bass mags a few years ago and I loved the guy for the sponsership he had secured ...not for him a fancy bass guitar manufacturer,nor a nice amp builder,not even a string maker...no ....he was sponsored by......Wadsworth six x.....Brilliant!....as much beer as you can drink,what a way to save money!

Beer of the Bass Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I enjoy Pegg's sound and playing in the current lineup. It's not the sound I would go for myself, but I like the way he's really not trying to sound like he did "back in the day". I reckon there has always been an element of instrumental flash to Fairport, and Pegg was always in on it, like when he doubles the melody on the fiddle sets. I went to see Dave Swarbrick last night (playing with Martin Carthy), and he's still a right old showoff too, but in the nicest possible way!
