Fairport & Swarb, Scrum-Half Bricking

at Derby 2003

Front Row Records BRUFC-01 (14 July 2003)
A Limited Edition of 500 copies only issued to benefit Belper Rugby Club's new club house appeal

Un cd stampato in sole 500 copie per raccogliere fondi in favore di una società di rugby: niente male come idea, ottima occasione per un incontro tra Swarbrick e i Fairport. L'iniziativa è originale anche se il live non dice più di quanto già sappiamo sul gruppo. Il promoter Chris Anderson, coordinatore della lotteria benefica, è il signore baffuto che compare sulla foto di copertina ed è autore di una breve prefazione all'interno del booklet. Le fotografie sono di Mark Hadley e Chris Bates.
