FAIRPORT HOME MOVIE (WINTER 1984) / LIVE AT BIRMINGHAM UNIVERSITY 1974 (Video)

1985
  • Two Films On One Video
The first is as the name suggests, a home-produced record of Fairport's 1984 Winter Tour. Film of Band members, fans, venues, interviews, rehearsal footage and some very funny footage of them trying to get booked into a hotel in Gravesend! Then followed by concert footage from the last gig on the Tour at Oxford Apollo.
