Fairport Convention | with support from Jenn Butterworth
The band that launched British folk-rock return!
Enjoy a mix of long-established Fairport favourites and some surprises from albums old and new from British folk-rock band Fairport Convention.
Fairport Convention have been entertaining music lovers for over half a century, having formed in 1967. This year’s Spring 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.
Fairport will be joined by the wonderful, award winning Jenn Butterworth as Special Guest on the tour. Jenn is an incredible guitarist and singer based in Scotland.
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.
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.
