About this album
The Bonny Bunch Of Roses is a strong late-period Fairport Convention album that balances traditional folk material with the band’s hard-edged rock sensibility. Issued in 1977, it shows the group refining the folk-rock approach they helped pioneer, with brisk instrumentals, tightly arranged songs and a more mature, road-tested sound. The title track and pieces such as The Eynsham Poacher and The Last Waltz underline how the band could move easily between English folk tradition and contemporary electric drive. For listeners tracing the evolution of British folk rock, it remains an important and characterful chapter in Fairport Convention’s catalogue.
