Rare, earliest performance of this great band with original vocalist Judy Dyble. She would soon be replaced by Sandy Denny. Judy was very underrated! This song though has Ian Matthews on lead vocals. Richard Thompson, Ashley Hutchings, Simon Nicol, and Martin Lamble are the other members during this time.

Live from an outdoor concert in 1970. Sandy Denny is already gone and Richard Thompson would soon leave. Still, this is a very beautiful song and music clip.

The Hiring Fair is one of my favourite songs, written by Ralph McTell and performed by Fairport Convention. You can find this particular version on their Cropredy 98 CD. The clips are taken from Tess (1979) and Far From The Madding Crowd (1998), both adaptations of Thomas Hardy novels. No copyright infringement is intended.
