Goodbye to my beloved aunt. Judy. She, together with her husband, my Uncle Simon,( de la Bedoyere/ Stable) showed me, an eleven year-old in 1970, that there was a different way of living, what came to be called 'alternative'.They held parties at my parents' home in Wimbledon in the late Sixties: acid fuelled and entertained by the unreleased Sgt Pepper and Velvet Underground. Then chucked it in for chickens in Oxfordshire. Her lifestyle appealed but it was obviously naive, anachronistic. They gave me Hendrix, Ten Years After, The Floyd - powerful things for an English schoolboy. Thirty years later I too followed their path into rural obscurity and discovered the joy to be had from creativity for its own sake, from immersion in the natural cycle and cooking stews. I''m not daft. Jude moved to the sticks when land was cheap and a generation later I made enough cash from advertising to escape London and a nervous breakdown. Few can follow. But I did. My wayward Aunt Jude and Uncle Simon had it right. I have a lot to thank Jude for. The first word I keep for her is -gentle and the second is pastoral.

@picklewiickle.158 Do you practice hard being a total bellend or is it something that comes naturally?

Judy Dyble sadly left us on 12th July following a long illness borne with great courage. She was 71. Judy was one of the pioneers of the English folk rock scene in the 1960s - a founding member of Fairport Convention and vocalist with Trader Horne. She withdrew from the music scene in the early 1970s to concentrate on her family but returned in 1997 for Fairport's 30th anniversary reunion at Cropredy. It was wonderful to see her with them again. Further Fairport anniversary appearances followed. Judy then went on to make three excellent albums, the first one unofficially launched at London pub run at the time by my pal Dan Ogus. This began a revival of her music career, which included numerous guest appearances on albums by a host of artists. In 2017, Judy started working with Big Big Train’s multi-instrumentalist frontman David Longdon. Their album "Between A Breath And A Breath" will be released in September. Two songs from the sessions which won't be included on the album, "Crossbones" and "The Daguerreotype", will be released in the autumn (subsequent to the album release) as a tribute to Judy, and In accordance with Judy’s wishes the two tracks will be made available as free downloads, , but it would be appreciated if you could make a donation to Judy’s chosen charity, the Barley Greyhound Sanctuary. (www.barleykennels.co.uk) I always looked forward to meeting Judy at Cropredy, walking her dogs on the field. As a fellow greyhound rescuer, we always talked about animal rescue, and never music... I shall miss those chats...R.I.P Judy x

R.I.P Judy Dyble. Wonderful musician and Greyhound advocate.

a rare chance to catch Martin Lamble performing on drums before he passed away from the motorway crash that also took life of Genie the Tailor (Richard Thompson's girl friend at the time and a cousin of Phil Ochs) and injured other Fairport Convention band members. Sandy Denny did not travel with the band on this fateful trip. This song's author, Emitt Rhodes, was from the group Merry-Go-Around and was called "the one-man Beatles". He passed away in 2020.

Richard Thompson has creative genius and technical skills at the level of Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen. Beyond their range, he's a fleet-fingered folkie, a folk rocker, as well as progressive hard rocker; a brilliant poet with a powerful, nuanced, only lightly-polished voice; and he's advanced his talents across fifty-plus years. Genius still rockin! - Doug Pratt, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

They never shared the stage together. Two completely different singers.

This is an indication of how good the original Fairport Convention were . This was very similar to their live gig performances and for many of the Audience was their introduction to American sing songwriters ,. The CD Heyday which was recorded at the BBC gives another impression of the early Fairport . They were superb

The collective skill, tightness, mastery of dynamics, ferrocious ability to swing, stop/start on a overall feel of these fairly young musicians is just staggering. And, what a great decision it was for them to cover a song that I'd think was pretty obscure at the time...of course, written by the 17yr old Emitt Rhoads and recorded with his Hawthorne California based band. The Merry Go-Round mere months prior to Fairport recording their version. It's pretty obvious that Richard Thompson is playing phenomenally here. He's locked and loaded frim yhe get-go...(his playing on the second song they played "Reno, Nevada" is even better...if you can imagine that!!!) I have to emphatically agree with others who have commented on the rest of the band's performances and, ability...the rhythm section is just ridiculously on fire and, they're both exceptional players and they are soooo tight. What a powerful and dynamic bass/drum axis here. It's such a shame that Martin Lamble was taken at such an early age. He surely would have been recognized as one of the greatest. In a broad sense as I'm certain that he was rated by his peers. Hutchings of course, was otherworldly the minute he started. Thankfully, the French held their arts in a much higher regard than most countries and we have historically important documents like this to revisit as we wish to and, those who have not been born yet will experience the magic and the legacy of Martin Lamble (and, the entire band) will continue to live on to astound for generations

Flawless Guitar....Richard Thompson....

Exactly. A major feature of music in the 60's and 70's. They were musicians first, and then maybe gained fame and popularity

Saw them perform several times at the Mother's Club in Erdington, Birmingham. They always gave a good show and sounded great live. They were never the same after Judy left the band.

'Time Will Show The Wiser' was an excellent choice for Fairport Convention to cover. Having known the original from the debut 'Merry Go Round' LP, I'd always wondered why it had never been released as an A side for them. 50-plus years on, I'm astounded by how mature and well written Emitt Rhodes' lyrics are and how he crafted them into a top-shelf pop song. Thanks for posting this, Sky Vibes.
