FAIRPORT CONVENTION

Saturday 4th February 2023, 7:30pm

​

Fairport Convention have been entertaining music lovers for over half a century, having formed in 1967. The band that launched British folk-rock has seen many changes, but one thing has remained the same – Fairport’s passion for performance.

Tonight’s visit presents a mix of long-established Fairport favourites and some surprises from albums old and new.

Fairport Convention have won a BBC Lifetime Achievement Award. 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, and Chris Leslie on fiddle, mandolin and vocals. Fairport will be joined on stage by former member Dave Mattacks on drums.

The opening act on the Tour will be the wonderful Hannah Sanders and Ben Savage.
