The group's first ever
live album saw them return to their spiritual home, The
Broadoak Hotel in Ashton Under Lyne which resulted in one of
their most popular ever albums. The recording captures the
real Fivepenny, the humour and the superb musicianship in
a live setting. The comic rhyming song '1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
10' would continue to feature in their repertoire and John's
version of the nostalgic 'Brown Photographs' similarly
became a Fivepenny classic. Eddie was in top form with his
monologues about 'The Battle Of Hastings' and 'The
Hencote'. Tim Hardin's 'If I Were A Carpenter' is
beautifully performed by Lynda and John, the varied play list
forming what many consider to be the quintessential Fivepenny
Piece album.
