Yes I remember the Fairports well. Coincidentially was also listening to the Steeleye Span All Around My Hat album the other day, after having a vinyl session. Last year I was listening to a band that I think is US that sounded like Steeleye, but had done a Xmas carols album. Their rendition of Good King Wenceslas was being played on the radio here in the UK a lot. Can't remember their name. Wish I could.
