Comment
Dave Mattacks: Drums
Simon Nicol: Guitar, Vocals
Dave Pegg: Bass, Viola, Vocals
David Swarbrick: Fiddle, Mandolin, Vocals

NOTES:
This is definately Swarb's Fairport. This the the Angel Delight lineup heavily influenced by Swarb's love of
traditional British folk.

Some sources list this show as being on August 23rd, but I'm convinced that is was on the 22nd. I found boots with
performances by Canned Heat and Jeff Beck Group listed as August 22, 1971, but could find nothing at all listed
for August 23 except for this Fairport show. Check out the excerpt from New Musical Express below for more info.

NME, May 15, 1971
(excerpt from snippet on rock festival in Finland)... Procol Harum, Juicy Lucy, Fairport Convention and Mott The Hoople will also feature at the three-day Turku event (August 20-22), and the promoters hope to book another two British groups. Besides Canned Heat,
John Lee Hooker will represent America. Groups will be playing non-stop for ten hours daily at the open-air site outside the city which attracted 30,000 fans last year ...
