Fairport Convention: Liege and Lief: Deluxe Edition

Forty years ago, this album solidified the band's influential British folk-rock sound. But what was new then has morphed into its own sort of tradition.

Fairport Convention: Unhalfbricking

Though the Convention still releases new music to this day, the essential spirit of their third album has yet to be repeated.

Fairport Convention: Maidstone 1970 [DVD]

A disappointingly short glimpse of a once important band.

Fairport Convention: Fairport Convention 35th Anniversary Concert [DVD]

Fairport Convention’s band membership may have been significantly different 35 years ago, but while the names have changed, the high musical quality has remained intact.
