Fairport Convention have been entertaining music lovers for over half a century, having formed in 1967. During that time the band that launched British folk-rock has seen many changes, but one thing has remained the same - Fairport’s passion for performance.
This year’s Winter Tour will present a mix of long-established Fairport favourites and some surprises from albums old and new.
Fairport Convention have won a BBC Lifetime Achievement Award and Radio 2 listeners voted their ground-breaking album Liege & Lief 'The Most Influential Folk Album of All Time'. Their story has been celebrated with television documentaries on BBC Four and Sky Arts.
The band features founding member Simon Nicol on guitar and vocals, Dave Pegg on bass guitar, Ric Sanders on violin, Chris Leslie on fiddle, mandolin and vocals. Fairport will be joined on stage by former member Dave Mattacks on Drums.
Our opening act for the tour is young singer/songwriter Danny Bradley, whose performance will be a wonderful start to your evening.
_"Stuffing their set with a surprising amount of new material for a vintage act, Fairport are still clearly having fun and brought the house down."_ THE GUARDIAN
_"Fairport is an institution, a festival, purveyors of memories, and keepers of the folk flame._
_But most of all they are a brilliant live band."_
