Farewell, Farewell is a live
Fairport Convention album recorded on the band's farewell tour in 1979. It is the last Fairport album to feature fiddler/mandolinist
Dave Swarbrick. Tracks are drawn from three performances of the Farewell Tour during Spring 1979: at
Birmingham University,
Southampton University and at
Derby Assembly Rooms. Most of the songs are performances of already familiar tracks from previous studio albums.
In 1997 to mark the 30th anniversary of Fairport Convention, the album was remastered, repackaged and re-released as "Encore Encore". This version included the 1980 studio single "Rubber Band" plus three additional tracks recorded on the 1979 tour: "The Hens March Through the Midden/Four Poster Bed", "Flatback Caper" and "Dirty Linen".
