Fairport Convention And Matthews Southern Comfort DVD

By 1970 Fairport Convention had been together as a band for some three years. At the time of the filming of this performance the band had just recorded their most recent album Full House with the line-up featuring founder members Richard Thompson and Simon Nicol alongside Dave Pegg Dave Swarbrick and drummer Dave Mattacks. This line-up was - and still is - considered one of the key line-ups of Fairport Convention. This film directed by renowned British film director Tony Palmer captures the band at the Maidstone Fiesta during the summer of 1970 as they run through... their set of the time. The film also features two songs from Matthews Southern Comfort the band led by former Fairport Convention member Ian Matthews. The DVD also includes bonus footage of an exclusive interview filmed in spring 2007 with director Tony Palmer where he explains how he first met Fairport Convention and his thoughts on the band and the film over thirty five years later.
