The GPs might be the least known supergroup of all, just because three Fairporters – Richard Thompson, Dave Pegg and Dave Mattacks – and Ralph McTell didn’t record anything. They graced the stage, though, the whopping four times they did, including the veterans’ appearance at Broughton Castle on August 14th, 1981 that was recorded, warts and all, and given a limited release ten years down the line. Fast forward to 2023, and those old tracks not only got cleaned up but also augmented with cuts from another concert, in Horsham, where the foursome performed on September 27th – however, while there are more numbers on the CD titled “In 1981 There Was THE GPs: Live In Concert” which will be out on February 7th, some of the pieces were left off.
