Fairport Convention discography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of recordings by the folk rock group Fairport Convention, usually credited as the first English electric folk band. Founded in 1967 and initially covering songs by artists such as Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, they found a niche, but devoted, following by providing electrified and upbeat versions of traditional folk tunes mixed with their own compositions.
