Fairport Convention

Years ago, perhaps it was still the dark 80s or the early 90s, I read an article in Rockerilla that talked about Fairport Convention. There was a phrase that compelled me to get to know them: "a band that, in moments of inspiration, could make even Bob Dylan pale." A bit exaggerated, perhaps, but What we did..., Unhalfbricking, Liege and Lief, Full House and House Full... are essential.
