Friday YouTube Nugget

I'm going to indulge my affection for those things twee and folksy this week by featuring a live performance by the legendary Fairport Convention. They were considered England's first electric folk band and featured master guitarist Richard Thompson and vocalist Sandy Denny (a.k.a. the chick duetting with Robert Plant on "The Battle of Evermore"). This clip is taken from a 1970 performance at an English county fair.
