About the Book

In June 1968, a group of Muswell Hillbillies made their official album debut as Fairport Convention. In the next fifteen years, three of those founding Fairportees Richard Thompson, Ashley 'Tyger' Hutchings and Simon Nicol along with the next generation of Fairport recruits - Iain Matthews, Sandy Denny, and the three Daves: Swarbrick, Pegg and Mattacks - would form a veritable dynasty of English folk-rock, each pursuing their own path, but always returning to work with each other, to collectively produce albums with a near-eternal appeal. Which is why every year since 1979 in a field somewhere near Banbury, 20,000-plus fans have congregated to celebrate this music's enduring appeal at the Cropredy Festival. So, fifty years on, now seems like the right time to tell the full story: to collect all the family lore that surrounds Fairport and its surrogates, and to disentangle the many highs and lows from those first fifteen years of Fotheringport Confusion. Drawing on interviews with all the musicians and key figures in English folk-rock - including producers extraordinaire Joe Boyd and Sandy Roberton - Clinton Heylin has produced the definitive history of a folk-rock family in its golden era.

'Undoubtedly the fullest account yet to appear of both the band and the hugely influential musicians who have passed through its ranks.' - Rock N Reel

'Fairport Convention are the biggest boughs on the folk-rock family tree. Heylin delineates a tangled web of line-up changes, drunken nights and splinter groups with clarity, giving fascinating insights from the engine room of England's most innovative outfits.' Record Collector

'Clinton Heylin's a skilled music writer. The writing is cognisant and informed, [he] gets matters right and amplifies the story just enough to reel in the merely curious as well as seasoned watchers seeking a little more understanding. This is the story of the folk-rock motorway and its A-road exits.' - fRoots
