    Spyda I've got a zappy little nappy

    I was having a good tidy up today and found something I thought had been long lost.
    It's a stereo mini-disc recording (which I've just converted to flac):

    Roy Harper @ Canterbury Fayre - 23rd August 2003


    Tracks:

    1 Tom Tiddlers Ground
    2 Don't You Grieve
    3 Pinches of Salt
    4 Highway Blues
    5 When an Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease
    6 Me and My Woman
    7 North Country
    8 One Man Rock and Roll Band

    Duration is about 1hr 10 mins, with lots of between-track banter.
    Roy caught us on the hop by coming on early, and I didn't check the recording level so it's slightly hot.
    Nevertheless, it sounds lovely and was a great show.

    I don't really know what to do with the recording but it really deserves to be heard. I'm happy to share this if anyone is interested?

    I didn't know if there was a recording of the show, I was just happy and excited when I found it again and wanted to share

    Dont know if this is allowed here but I put a snippet up just now:

    The full flac version is 392MB

    If anyone wants a copy just message me :wink:

    It would be nice to hear your version too Shaun :biggrin:

    I only had 1 mini-disc on me which I very much regret as Robert Plant played a blinding set immediately after Roy :(

    :m9:

    The snippet is mp3, but definitely sounds much brighter than my copy, will message you Spyda!

    The .mp3 of Tom Tiddler, above, is just a sample, I will keep the original in its entireity. I'm not expecting a trade for this, just making it available for anyone who wanted to listen, and I can redo a .wav version if there is any demand

    That's the first time I've seen the names of Roy Harper and TESCO in any kind of conjunction.....

    I love the fact that it was only a week after the first Beautiful Days and I can see a T shirt in the crowd.
