Fairport Convention - The Quiet Joys Of Brotherhood Live At The Cropredy Festivals 1986 And 1987
Review by Matthew Longmore
The album "The Quiet Joys of Brotherhood: Live at the Cropredy Festivals 1986 and 1987" by Fairport Convention is a stunning collection of live performances that showcases the band's incredible musicianship and songwriting skills.
Recorded over two years at the Cropredy Festivals, the album features some of Fairport Convention's most beloved tracks, including "Meet on the Ledge," "The Hiring Fair," and "Matty Groves." The band's signature blend of folk, rock, and traditional music is on full display, with each track offering a masterclass in instrumental virtuosity and heartfelt lyricism.
The standout performances on the album include "The Quiet Joys of Brotherhood," a hauntingly beautiful track that showcases the band's vocal harmonies and intricate guitar work, and "Rosie," a rollicking tune that features some of the best fiddle playing you're likely to hear.

Notes
- Abridged version of the long-out-of-print The Other Boot / The Third Leg, with bonus exclusive DVD interview disc.
- Disc 1: Cropredy Festival August 1986, edited version of the full concert previously released on 'The Other Boot'
- Disc 2: Cropredy Festival August 1987, edited version of the full concert previously released on 'The Third Leg'
- DVD interview conducted by 'Jet' Martin Celmins with Dave Pegg & Simon Nicol, Christmas 2002
- 3 single-sleeve CDs and DVD packaged in a clamshell box. 3-fold booklet with notes and credits. On the credits, musicians are presented as if there were playing the whole 1986 or 1987 concert. This is of course wrong : apart from the core Fairport line-up of Nicol / Pegg / Allcock / Mattacks / Sanders, the other musicians are guests, playing only on some songs, not all.
