Vinyl - N/M

Sleeve - VG

Fairport Convention’s What We Did on Our Holidays is a landmark British folk rock album and an essential record for fans of 1960s folk, rock and the early evolution of British folk rock. Originally released in 1969, this influential album captures Fairport Convention at a fascinating point in their development, combining traditional folk influences with electric guitars, rock instrumentation and the distinctive vocals of Sandy Denny and Iain Matthews.

What We Did on Our Holidays was Fairport Convention’s second studio album and followed their self-titled debut. The record is particularly notable for featuring Sandy Denny, whose arrival marked an important stage in the band’s development. Alongside Richard Thompson, Ashley Hutchings, Simon Nicol and Martin Lamble, the group created a sound that sat between American influenced folk rock and the emerging British folk-rock tradition.
