Fairport Convention : Fiddlestix (live 1974)

Dave Mattacks
1970s1974TV AppearanceStudioRare

Filmed on June 22 1974 at Birmingham University, UK by Guild TV (Birmingham University Film Club). The audio and video quality is poor but it's a very rare video of a classic Fairport line-up: Dave Swarbrick / Jerry Donahue / Trevor Lucas / Dave Pegg / Dave Mattacks. Sandy Denny was also part of the line-up but does not appear on this track. Fiddlestix appeared on the "Live Convention" album of the same year, as well as a single, studio version with orchestra, re-titled "The Devil In The Kitchen", released in Australia and NZ in 1973. That recording also appeared as the title track of an Australian compilation in 1998 - but called Fiddlestix again. www.fairportconvention.com
