Fairport Convention Captured Live: A Rather Splendid Evening From 1987

Picture this: January 26th, 1987, Rock City in Nottingham. Fairport Convention, those magnificent architects of British folk music, delivered an absolutely marvellous concert that somehow got trapped in vinyl form. You're about to own it. Rather good timing, that.

Why Choose This Recording

Hear Them At Their Best: This double album captures the band in glorious form, with Dave Pegg's mandolin and Martin Allcock's bouzouki creating a beautiful symmetry that makes you wonder why more instruments don't get along this well. Ric Sanders' electric violin practically raises the roof, whilst Dave Mattacks keeps things beautifully steady on drums and Simon Nicol's guitar and voice complete a rather fetching picture.

Two Discs of Fabulous Folk: Four sides packed with stunning adaptations of John Barleycorn and Reynard the Fox, tracks from their then recently released Expletive Delighted album including Three Left Feet, Sí Bheag Sí Mhór, Portmeirion and Sack the Juggler, plus fan favourites such as Meet On the Ledge. In other words, if you adore Fairport Convention, you'll find plenty to love here.

Complete Track Listing: Side One: Dirty Linen, John Barleycorn, Three Left Feet, Crazy Man Michael, The Wise Maid. Side Two: The Hiring Fair, Bankruptured, Close to the Wind, Head in a Sack, Sí Bheag Sí Mhór. Side Three: Reynard the Fox, Portmeirion, Honour and Praise, The Lark in the Morning, Royal Selection No. 13. Side Four: Wat Tyler, Jams O'Donnell's Jig, The Swirling Pit, High Road to Linton, Sack the Juggler, Meet On the Ledge.

SHIPPING + RETURNS


THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS

This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.

SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.

Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.

At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.

We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!


RETURNS

You have 14 days to return items.

Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!

🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY
:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.

Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!

We Have Lots More Like This.........

Hello, we are Sostter....

Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?

We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect. Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience.

Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.

This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.

A Curated Marketplace for Independent Ethical Brands

Discover our world of independent brands, conscious design, and purposeful creativity — all in one place.

Sostter is more than a marketplace. We're here to inspire a more thoughtful way to shop — one that celebrates the makers, the dreamers, and the independent brands doing things properly. Every brand on Sostter has been individually vetted for its originality, quality, and values. From sustainable fashion and ethical homeware to handmade jewellery and design-led gifts — all brought together in one considered space. Browse by location, by purpose, or simply wander and see what finds you. Want to sell with us? We'd love to hear from you.
