After nearly 50 years on the road Fairport Convention, the originators of British folk-rock music, remains one of the most entertaining bands on the live music scene.
This year’s spring tour features all five members of Fairport and presents a more intimate take on the band’s repertoire. This concert will showcase brand new songs and tunes from the band’s 2015 album Myths And Heroes however, favourites from the band’s back catalogue will not be forgotten.
Fairport Convention features Simon Nicol on guitar and lead vocals, Dave Pegg on bass and backing vocals, Chris Leslie on fiddle, mandolin, bouzouki and lead vocals, Ric Sanders on violin and Gerry Conway on percussion.
Fairport has won a coveted BBC Lifetime Achievement Award and the band was recently the subject of a major music documentary on BBC Four television. Radio 2 listeners voted Fairport’s groundbreaking album Liege & Lief ‘The Most Influential Folk Album of All Time’
Whether you are a long-time fan or a newcomer to their music an evening with Fairport Convention is sure to surprise and delight you.
