The Sheffield club scene is more famous now than it ever was, particularly with the popularity of Gatecrasher. In the late 70's/early 80's the Sheffield club scene was pretty good, but there we're no clubs that I would describe as "unique". I did see the Explorers in a small club called "The Limit" around that sort of time. Maybe someone like SimonG has further recollections of the Sheffield club scene. With regard to Manchester, around that sort of time, the Hacienda club was the place to be. I guess that sort of club could be described as "unique", and was esentially produced a lot of unique groups (Joy Division, Smiths etc..). Even though I never went to the Hacienda, my girlfriend tells me that she went there a number of times and saw the Smiths effectively play "impromptu" sets. Quite a number of my friends at the time used to frequent the Hacienda and they certainly rated it as excellent. Unfortunately now the Hacienda is no longer (I think it's yuppie flats/offices now).

Wonderful tool, those Search Engines ... I happen to like GOOGLE - - - - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=%22Fairport+Convention%22&btnG=Google+Search Anyway - the Rolling Stones website says: The popular British folk group Fairport Convention was formed in 1967 by bassist Ashley Hutchings, who began jamming with musician friends as "Tim Turner's Narration." Solidifying the lineup with vocalist Ian Matthews and guitarist/vocalist Richard Thompson, the group took the name Fairport Convention and performed its mixture of American country folk and British folk in local clubs. Their eponymous debut album was released in late 1967 and received positive reviews, expanded on 1968's What We Did On Our Holidays, which debuted new vocalist Sandy Denny. Unfortunately while on tour, the group was in a fatal highway accident, killing drummer Martin Lamble and disrupting the band. Re-formed as a traditional British folk group, Fairport Convention returned in 1969 with the highly acclaimed Liege and Lief. Following the departure of Sandy Denny for Fotheringay (and, eventually, a solo career) and founder Ashley Hutchings, the Convention continued on as a five-piece, releasing 1970's Full House, recorded while on a tour of the United States. Richard Thompson moved on to a solo career, but the now-four-piece group pressed on, recording Angel Delight and Babbacombe Lee in 1971. After more lineup changes the Convention returned with 1972's Rosie and 1973's Nine. In 1974 Sandy Denny returned to Fairport Convention, releasing Rising For the Moon later that year. Sadly, Denny died of a brain hemorrhage after falling down a flight of stairs. Faced with the loss of their friend and vocalist and the growing punk rock movement, which disdained folk music, Fairport Convention launched a farewell tour and then broke up. They capped off their career with 1979's Farewell, Farewell. Bassist/vocalist Dave Pegg joined Jethro Tull, but the other members of Fairport Convention reunited in August 1980 for what was to be the first of five yearly reunion shows in Britain. In 1985 the group permanently reunited as a quintet, releasing the popular album Glady's Leap later that year. Throughout the remainder of the 1980s and '90s the quintet -- Simon Nicol (guitar/vocals), Dave Pegg (bass/vocals), Ric Sanders (violin), Dave Mattacks (drums/keyboards) and Maart Allcock (guitar/mandolin) -- toured worldwide and regularly released albums, most recently 1997's Who Knows Where the Time Goes?, whose release was celebrated with a massive U.K. show for which members old and new appeared on stage together. >> So - I hope that helps ... hunt down those Albums and roll up the collar on your Anorak! - -= )-(eather =- M.

Has the imposter Colleen turned up here too? This way folks who don't know about Mr. Thompson can occupy themselves with some background reading so the rantings of his fans (myself included) will have the proper context.

Yet all of those things were massively overcome by the indifferent on-stage vibe and the lacklustre quality of the set, etc. > I was trying to use a contrast between Colleen's misgivings and my own > more positive repsonse as a kind of shorthand.

William has already voluntarily offered that I was really really looking forward to it. In addition, as Miles noted: > Why single out Colleen?

I am not someone who can be easily shorthanded, and frankly, I don't appreciate being asked to stand in in this manner.

I was completely mesmerized at several points during the concert. The records leave me cold, though - I have to be there for it to work for me, I guess. I'd also echo Andrew's thoughts on Richard Thompson. Sometimes the only thing for me is to put on the song Hokey Pokey. Thompson's guitar has the (few remaining) hairs on the back of my neck standing up and I'm a grinning wreck at the end of the song.

I'd never noticed anything wrong until years later and I heard Thompson's drum bit,, thingy.... on "Horoscope".. I thought it had evolved into Mamouna. I'd never realised it was separate entity and to think some people here may, possibly, have it . Well, how does that make me feel?
