Angel Delight

Released in June 1971, 'Angel Delight' was the first of two albums of Fairport Convention as a four-piece, after the departure of founder member Richard Thompson that January. The band were living in a converted pub, The Angel, in Hertfordshire where they worked on the material for the album, another blend of the traditional and the original. The title track - a pun on the time they were having at the pub, and a nod to the popular British dessert of the same name - was a jolly catalogue of their life at the moment, referring to producer John Wood as 'John The Wood' and drummer Dave Mattacks as 'Dave The Drum.' It also mentions the day a lorry crashed into the pub, which, had Dave Swarbrick been in his room at the time could well have killed him.
