This was a very nice band called the Greenaways from North Cornwall
This is their website:
The current line-up of Fairport Convention is Simon Nicol (lead vocal, rhythm and electric
guitars), Dave Pegg (backing vocals, bass guitar, mandolin), Ric Sanders
(violin), Chris Leslie (lead vocal, fiddle, bouzouki, mandolin) and
Gerry Conway (percussion and drums)

They were joined by Martin Barre, formerly a guitarist with Jethro Tull, at Millendreath
