“A 2 hour documentary tracing the history of Britain's premier folk-rock group, Fairport Convention. It features interviews with band members past and present, journalist Patrick Humphries and record producer Joe Boyd.”
This visual history of Fairport Convention contains only one song performed by Sandy Denny, Solo, in a black&white amateur recording, but includes several interviews which allude to Sandy, and there are many photos of her.

You hear a re-recording in DVD format videotape embodying Fairport Convention at the time of 1987 in action at the annual festival in Cropredy, England. The tape was released in the same year, in honor of the 20-year anniversary team. The plot is not limited to one of the festival: individual songs interspersed comments of former and current at the time of the group and videos of different years in order since 1968. Thus, we see the difficult history of Fairport Convention for 20 years of career, marked by repeated changes of composition and tragedies. However, all of these obstacles could not undermine the spirit of the musicians.
