Roger Hill and Tom Farnell
join from the centre of music's universe,
Birmingham. Birmingham!
American guitarist David Ray
pops over for a week or two.
The Rosie album is made
but the lads don't much like it
and Trevor Lucas is brought in
to produce a new version.
Now Trevor had come over
from Australia
some years previously
and had made something
of a name for himself
singing Aussie folk songs.
He then formed Fatheringay with Sandy
and it was fellow Fatheringay musicians
Jerry Donoghue on guitar
and Jerry Conway on the drums
who helped out on the Rosie album.
DM also played along.
Trevor, Jerry D,
DM decided to join up with Peggy
and swarm
to form the new Fairport
and off they went gigging extensively.
This lineup stays together
and records the very fine album Nine.
So let's bring them on.
but here for the first time
is a man whose digits are so fast
they can type out the Bible
in 14 seconds flat.
This guitarist makes Albert Lee
and Eddie Van Halen
sound like Sammy the Snail
and Cyril the Slug.
How can you keep so cool
when you're peddling up Everest
at 150 miles per hour?
This man does all this,
the token American in our show,
Jerry Donoghue!
How did you like the song?
