Event information
Fairport Convention have been entertaining music lovers for over half a century, with
2023 being their 56th anniversary! 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 Spring Tour will present a mix of long-established Fairport favourites and
some surprises from albums old and new including their latest album, Shuffle & Go.
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 bouzouki, mandolin, banjo,
fiddle, and vocals.
"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." ~ Folk & Tumble
