I just booked my ticket for RT's 1000 Years of Popular Music, Glasgow in January. He won't be doing any of the above though.

Can't choose a best one, so here's the one that comes first - Fairport's anthem Meet On The Ledge, written by the teenage RT in response (perhaps) to the van crash that killed the band's first drummer Martin Lamble and RT's girlfriend Jeannie Franklin. Here in a live solo acoustic version.
