Please note before you start to download - THIS IS AN AUDIENCE RECORDING OF AN OUTDOOR GIG.

If you are a fan of Dave Swarbrick, Fairport Convention, 'folk-rock' in general or the simply curious, it's for you - but read below first :-)

I was initially reluctant to share/trade this as there was a bit of a wind problem during this recording - not caused by too much 6X :-) In a number of places, but not, I must stress, all the way through, there is a rustling or crackle caused by wind across the mics, which for those interested, were attached, and poking out from, beneath the collar of my denim jacket and did have wind-shields. It affects both channels so it was difficult to remove or patch from one channel to the other although on track 9, the worst affected, I did decide to replace the right channel with a clone of the left. Hopefully, if you do decide to grab this, you won't find it too intrusive, and will enjoy this record of Swarb's triumphant return to Cropredy.

As aways, play nicely together, share this recording freely but please NOT as mp3's and NOT for personal profit. Most importantly, support the artists where you can.

Enjoy!
