Previously unissued performance from the iconic British folk-rock band recorded live at New York’s legendary Bottom Line.

Previously unissued performance from the iconic British folk-rock band recorded live at New York’s legendary Bottom Line • Recorded on the Now We Are Six tour • Introduces one of their best-known songs, “Thomas The Rhymer” – a track that has become a staple in their live set since its release on Now We Are Six Fairport Convention co-founder and bassist Ashley Hutchings and legendary singer, Sandy Denny parted ways with the group after their classic Liege And Leaf album. Hutchings recruited Tim Hart & Maddy Prior (an established folk duo) and Terry & Gay Woods, naming their new band after a character in the traditional song “Horkstow Grange.” While their line-up fluctuated (Terry Woods would leave and later become the bassist in the classic Pogues line-up a decade later), the band solidified and continues to this day.

Emotions run high in this true polar adventure. It's a story of triumph, harrowing danger, and outright adventure.
