There was a medley of four traditional tunes, arranged, and, like many of the tracks, enlivened, by Swarbrick's energetic fiddle playing.

"Farewell, Farewell" and the final track "Crazy Man Michael", also saw the full emergence of the distinctive song writing talent of Thompson that was to characterize his contributions to the band and later solo career. The distinctive sound of the album came from the use of electric instruments and Mattacks' disciplined drumming with Swarbrick's fiddle accompaniment in a surprising and powerful combination of rock with the traditional. The entire band had reached new levels of musicality, with the fluid guitar playing of Thompson and the "ethereal" vocal of Denny particularly characteristic of the sound of the album.

Dave Pegg took over on bass guitar and has been the group's one constant ever since, in an unbroken membership of over four decades. The band made no serious attempt to replace Denny, and, although she would briefly return, the sound of the band would now be characterized by male vocals. </p><p>Despite these changes the band produced another album, <i><a href="/wiki/Full_House_(Fairport_Convention_album)" title="Full House (Fairport Convention album)">Full House</a></i> (1970), which was remarkably successful as a project. Like its predecessor, it combined traditional songs, including a powerful rendition of "<a href="/wiki/Sir_Patrick_Spens" title="Sir Patrick Spens">Sir Patrick Spens</a>", with original compositions. The latter benefited from the writing partnership of Thompson and Swarbrick, most obviously on "Walk Awhile", which would become a concert favourite.

Nicol, Pegg, and Mattacks had recorded and toured with <a href="/wiki/Richard_and_Linda_Thompson" class="mw-redirect" title="Richard and Linda Thompson">Richard and Linda Thompson</a> at times in the 1970s, and did so again during this period, culminating in their appearance on the <i><a href="/wiki/Shoot_Out_the_Lights" title="Shoot Out the Lights">Shoot Out the Lights</a></i> album and tour in 1982. Bruce Rowlands gave up the music business and moved to Denmark and as a result Dave Mattacks returned as drummer for Fairport's occasional gigs. Dave Pegg was the first of several Fairporters to join <a href="/wiki/Jethro_Tull_(band)" title="Jethro Tull (band)">Jethro Tull</a> which gave him well-paying steady employment. Simon Nicol had teamed up with Dave Swarbrick in a highly regarded acoustic duo, but this partnership was made difficult by Swarbrick's sudden decision to move to Scotland, where, from 1984, he began to focus on his new project <a href="/wiki/Whippersnapper_(band)" title="Whippersnapper (band)">Whippersnapper</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTERedwoodWoodward199518_36-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERedwoodWoodward199518-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1985, Pegg, Nicol and Mattacks found that they all had some free time and an available studio belonging to Pegg. They decided that they needed some new material to add to the catalogue that had been suspended in 1978. As Swarbrick was unavailable, the selection of traditional tunes was more difficult than for past albums and there was a need for a replacement fiddle player and some vocals. Pegg and Nicol took over arranging duties on an instrumental medley and the band turned to sometime Albion Band members: jazz and folk violinist <a href="/wiki/Ric_Sanders" title="Ric Sanders">Ric Sanders</a> and singer-songwriter <a href="/wiki/Cathy_Lesurf" title="Cathy Lesurf">Cathy Lesurf</a>. They also had the help of ex-member Richard Thompson. Thompson and Lesurf contributed songs and took part in the recordings. Also important to the album was <a href="/wiki/Ralph_McTell" title="Ralph McTell">Ralph McTell</a> who contributed one song and co-wrote one track each with Nicol and Mattacks; the latter of these, "The Hiring Fair", would become a stage fixture of Fairport. </p><p>The resulting album <i><a href="/wiki/Gladys%27_Leap" title="Gladys' Leap">Gladys' Leap</a></i> (1985) was generally well received in the music and national press, but caused some tension with Swarbrick who refused to play any of the new material at the 1985 Cropredy Festival. Nevertheless, the decision to reform the band, without Swarbrick, was taken by the other three remaining members. Ric Sanders was invited to join, along with guitarist, composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist <a href="/wiki/Maartin_Allcock" title="Maartin Allcock">Maartin Allcock</a>. Nicol, with his developing baritone voice, took over the main share of the vocal duties.

Fairport had the considerable composing and arranging skills of Allcock and, to fill the gap created by a lack of a songwriter in the band, they turned to some of the most talented available in the contemporary folk scene.
