It All Came Round Again: Onstage & on Air 1982-90

For the first time ever, fans can experience the timeless magic of Fairport Convention’s ‘Golden Years’ all in one place with this meticulously crafted and comprehensive 11CD and DVD deluxe boxset ‘It All Came Round Again: Onstage and On Air 1982–90’. The set includes over 160 tracks, 57 of which are previously unreleased recordings. Also included in this limited edition set is a replica festival programme signed by Simon Nichol, Dave Pegg, Dave Mattacks and Richard Thompson.

With access to hours of live performances both on stage at Cropredy and in over 100 minutes in session for the BBC, this bespoke Madfish offering, curated by Bert Jansch/John McLaughlin biographer Colin Harper, is the definitive tribute to the legendary British folk-rock band’s enduring legacy.

The Fairport Convention legend was forged between 1967 and 1979 – 12 years, 16 albums, umpteen line-ups and four exhausted people at the end of it. In August 1980, the last line-up – Simon Nicol, Dave Swarbrick, Dave Pegg and Bruce Rowland – reunited for a day in a farmer’s field in Cropredy, Oxfordshire, establishing the iconic 'Fairport's Cropredy Convention' festival in the process. Five relatively quiet years passed by before, in 1985 and by popular demand, a new recording and touring Fairport Convention assembled around Peggy and Simon. Everything moved up a gear. There would be four new albums by 1990 and BBC Radio welcomed the reborn folk-rockers with remarkable regularity.
