Title: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: steve-n on January 27, 2006, 12:34:43 PM Tickets now on sale for Huntingdon Hall, Worcester (01905 611427) - 12 May. Acoustic line-up advertised as Simon, Chris, Ric and Peggy - but its quite an old photo!!
Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Simon Nicol on January 27, 2006, 02:32:19 PM Huntingdon Hall has jumped the gun and as I type are being informed of their error. The spring Fairport Acoustic Tour will be the 4-piece line up of Ric, Chris, Gerry and me. Hope this clears things up.
Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Jan_ on January 27, 2006, 03:04:37 PM Is there a venue list, Simon? I cannot see one on the FC site. I do so hope you're coming somewhere near me. I really enjoyed the gig at Grays! :)
Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Anna on January 27, 2006, 03:07:57 PM Speaking of which, has anyone heard from soundmanjim since that gig? Or is he still getting over the experience?
PS, nice new avatar there, Simon. Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Chris on January 27, 2006, 06:53:01 PM Is there a venue list, Simon? I cannot see one on the FC site. The acoustic dates in the past have only been advertised once the Wintour is (nearly) over - to protect possible sales to the Wintour. The dates as we know them.... 20 March - Keswick, Theatre by the Lake 3 May - Sale, Waterside Arts Centre 5 May - Saltaire, Victoria Hall 10 May - Sheffield City Halls (Memorial Hall) 12 May - Worcester, Huntingdon Hall 14 May - Farnsfield Acoustic - Nottingham, Papplewick Village Hall 15 May - Nettlesbed Folk Club 17 May - Maidenhead, Norden Farm Arts Centre 19 May - Moulton Village Festival Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Jan_ on January 27, 2006, 11:31:17 PM The acoustic dates in the past have only been advertised once the Wintour is (nearly) over - to protect possible sales to the Wintour. Thanks Chris. :) Guess I'll have to wait then. Wouldn't make any difference to me if the venue dates were posted early. I will go to both (as long as the venue is within one and a half hours drive) because they're quite different. :) Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Chris on February 19, 2006, 12:37:52 PM There are two more dates - Sheffield City Halls (Memorial Hall) on Wednesday 10th May - Tickets £14.50 from 0114-278-9789.
Nettelebed Folk Club, near Henley-on-Thames. Monday, May 15th - Tickets £14.00 from 01628-636620. Call after 10am & before 9pm please. POstal application form is here (http://pages.123-reg.co.uk/shirburn-50351/nettlebedfolkclub/id3.html) Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Chris on February 19, 2006, 10:11:46 PM AS this thread is gathering dates, I guess it's OK to note that Farnsfield Acoustic are advertising the 14 May.
Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Anne T on February 20, 2006, 09:41:42 AM Thanks for the link to Nettlebed. Had a look on there and according to their other things in the area section, FC are playing at Norden Farm Arts Centre in Maidenhead on May 17th. I'm on their mailing list, and it hasn't been advertised yet, so I shall pencil in the date and wait hopefully in anticipation!
Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Anne T on February 20, 2006, 09:45:59 AM Sorry, forgot to post link to Norden Farm
http://www.nordenfarm.org/ Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Taliesin on February 20, 2006, 06:19:17 PM 12th of May... only 9 days after my 41st ;D :o May well have to treat myself to some tickets to one of the Spring tour dates. ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Anna on March 01, 2006, 02:30:53 PM Just out of curiosity, does anyone know which (if any) of these are likely to be standing venues - or have a 'mosh pit' anyway. I fancy a jigalong... I'm sure this is nothing like a full list yet, but it's fun to start formulating plans...
Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Simon Care on March 01, 2006, 04:48:02 PM Fairport Acoustic will be appearing at Moulton Village Festival, Northampton on Friday 19th May as part of their Spring Tour.
Why not come on over and precede the concert with a meal and a pint at The Telegraph Public House,,,,,now owned by LJE squeezer Gareth Turner. For tickets (£15) contact (01604) 646818 Tickets limited to 250 .........80 gone already Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: tarda (Gill) on March 01, 2006, 06:36:07 PM Is anyone going to Sheffield?
Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Chris on March 01, 2006, 09:35:43 PM Just out of curiosity, does anyone know which (if any) of these are likely to be standing venues - or have a 'mosh pit' anyway. I fancy a jigalong... The Moulton bigtop, possibly (Simon C?), but otherwise I doubt it. The lads all sit down in this line-up, so it'd be odd if the audience stood.... Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on March 01, 2006, 11:42:27 PM Is anyone going to Sheffield? Possibly.. will you be there Gill?? Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on March 01, 2006, 11:48:17 PM Just talking to Simon Nicol and he says I can now make the announcement that FAIRPORT ACOUSTIC will be playing for Farnsfield Acoustic on May 14th.. Bonny Black Hare Day (would be great if they'd sing THAT!!)
We are absolutely delighted to have been asked to host this gig.. thank you chaps ;D The venue is different though.. Papplewick Village Hall near Nottingham... see website below or IM me for details and tickets. Hope to see lots of you there.. as well as the Sheffield gig!! Amethyst ;D ;D Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Chris on March 04, 2006, 07:07:32 PM I've updated my first post in this thread (on page 1) with the dates as they've been seen advertised.
The two new ones details are - 3 May - phone 0161-912-5616 5 May - phone 01274-588614 Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Rozza on March 04, 2006, 09:30:02 PM The acoustic line up is playing the Theatre by the Lake at Keswick on 20 March (017687 74411)
Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Jim on March 04, 2006, 09:54:31 PM Chaps,
Have i got this right, these days Fairport Acoustic is Simon, Ric, Chris and Gerry, no Peggy? Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Jim on March 04, 2006, 10:25:41 PM ok ive read Simons post on the previous page so i know its the chaps minus Peggy
so they are on in sale 3rd may well thats well within my 10 mile limit its not on the waterside arts centre website yet but its wednesday night which would mean a bit of rushing about still do-able, i'll give it full consideration Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Chris on March 04, 2006, 10:57:49 PM The acoustic line up is playing the Theatre by the Lake at Keswick on 20 March (017687 74411) It appears that they're right in the middle of a literary festival too! Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Anna on March 06, 2006, 05:10:18 PM 20th March? A pre-acoustic tour warmup gig? Cor! :)
Most of the tour seems to co-incide with my main holiday this year. But I'll see if I can roll along to one of the later gigs... Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: tarda (Gill) on March 06, 2006, 05:16:35 PM When are the dates officially out?
I booked Sheffild tickets for my offspring and was mildly alarmed to see how fast they were selling out. I've been googling like mad to check if anything has been announced for venues in this area but with no luck. If there is a sussex gig I just hope it's not sold out before I get to hear of it! Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on March 06, 2006, 05:50:55 PM A few tix left for the Papplewick date.. near Nottingham..... May 14th...
Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: tarda (Gill) on March 06, 2006, 06:09:31 PM See what I mean - they're all selling out!!!!!!!!!
Simon? anything planned for dahn sarf? Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Hedgehog on March 07, 2006, 03:01:12 PM What?
WHATTTTTT?????? Just phoned Mr Kyps in Poole, the Usual Offices for the annual Fairport Acoustic gig round yer, and they're NOT FLIPPIN' WELL ON! :'( Ah, no FC, no Aggies........ welcome to Dorset, where the tumbleweed blows up and down the deserted streets of quality live music! >:( Come on Simon, please tell us that you're going to be on around here somewhere!!!!! Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on March 07, 2006, 03:11:23 PM Just booked Sheffield!
Gill.. I'll see your offspring there.. and Rachel and Pete Gray.. ;D ;D Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Gilbert W on March 10, 2006, 12:56:44 AM So (and this goes for the US tour as well)....why Pegg-less? :'(
Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Jim on March 10, 2006, 07:51:43 AM its a long and torturous story
Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Bernie on March 10, 2006, 10:24:00 AM Come on Jim, then tell us more.....a Peggless Fairport is a bit different after all these years.....
Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Gilbert W on March 11, 2006, 12:07:27 AM Is Peggy on the US Gov't's "No-Fly" list?
He is a bit swarthy, for a Brit... Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Cocker Freeman on March 11, 2006, 12:27:58 AM Is that what they call it? A "No-Fly" list? Hyphenated? Is that the US government's way of saying someone is not allowed entry into the United States? No-Fly?
Give me strength. The evidence says that Peggy is doing Cropredy and the winter tour. For any more information I'd expect you'd have to ask him. Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Gilbert W on March 11, 2006, 01:32:44 AM OK.
Peggy, why ain't ya coming to the USA? Was it something I said? I'll buy you a taco! C'mon!! ??? Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: AdrianW on March 13, 2006, 01:33:46 AM Spring Tour dates now up on http://www.fairportconvention.com/gigs.htm (http://www.fairportconvention.com/gigs.htm)

Tacos, Peggy.....TACOS!!! <peggy> Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: YaBB Master (Colin) on March 13, 2006, 11:23:34 AM You have asked the same question, several times. Maybe somebody will answer, maybe not.

Tacos, Peggy.....TACOS!!! <peggy> Hmmmm, weeks spent driving in a van across the States or weeks spent in a beautiful French farmhouse, taking the opportunity for some much needed rest, relaxation and counting of Jethro Tull royalties ( ;)) - I iknow what I would rather be doing!! Jackdaw ;D Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: tarda (Gill) on March 13, 2006, 07:00:45 PM aaarrrgh!!! nothing in sussex or surrey.
don't...think...I...can....survive....till...august Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: fat Billy(Bill) on March 13, 2006, 07:02:42 PM Poo! nothing this way either
Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Geoff W on March 13, 2006, 09:06:38 PM Quote Peggy, why ain't ya coming to the USA? Was it something I said? I'll buy you a taco! C'mon!! The following from P.J. Wright's web site might help to explain it: "As an aside, being on tour together has given Peggy and me a chance to start assembling material for the duo gigs we will be doing in June and July of this year. The show will be called 'A Night Off With Peggy & PJ', a title which I think gives you a clue to the nature of the entertainment" www.hedgeofsound.com (ftp://www.hedgeofsound.com) Something different to look forward to. Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Gilbert W on March 14, 2006, 02:06:50 AM Spring Tour dates now up on http://www.fairportconvention.com/gigs.htm (http://www.fairportconvention.com/gigs.htm) Hmmmm, weeks spent driving in a van across the States or weeks spent in a beautiful French farmhouse, taking the opportunity for some much needed rest, relaxation and counting of Jethro Tull royalties ( ;)) - I iknow what I would rather be doing!! Jackdaw ;D Fat lot of good that does ME! :P Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Gilbert W on March 14, 2006, 04:45:07 AM You have asked the same question, several times. Maybe somebody will answer, maybe not. If someone answers, I'll stop asking! Edit: Actually, you will just stop asking. Colin Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: jude on March 14, 2006, 07:54:03 AM If someone answers, I'll stop asking! Gilbert W, I don't think anybody here knows the answer to your question, no matter how often you ask it. Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Hedgehog on March 14, 2006, 11:59:51 AM Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
The lads are in Wimborne on the 20th of May!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Pugwash on March 14, 2006, 09:17:25 PM What a shame the utterly revoltin Gilbert W declared his hand so soon.
Things have been very dull around here since the Anglo Finn took Yobb to court. Btw are you actually let out or was the Greenfinch your version of the Birdman of Dartmoor!! Puggs ;D ;D Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: gower flower (Shirl) on March 14, 2006, 09:26:35 PM Nothing in Wales. Again. (sigh.....) :'( However, 14th May might be a possibility. Well, it's Bonny Black Hare day, innit? Gower Flower 8) Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Gilbert W on March 16, 2006, 04:08:48 AM Sorry if I offended anyone. I was concerned, OK?
If loving Peggy is wrong, I don't wanna be right. I'll get me coat... Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Andy on March 16, 2006, 05:12:34 AM You'll have to try a bit harder to understand the ambience here, obviously. Take a look around, especially to the introduction to the board and then perhaps you'll understand that your persistent repetition of a question is considered just plain rude, here. >:(
Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Jonathan on March 17, 2006, 01:37:36 AM I'm a little disappointed that they're not playing the Birchmere when they play the DC area, only because it's a really fantastic venue. However, they're playing two places an hour from DC (Rockville and Sykesville), so I think I can live without seeing them at the Birchmere ;) And the place they're playing in Rockville is supposed to be great. I missed them last summer, so I'm really looking forward to this summer. Sure, I'd love to see them with Peggy, but, it's all good.
Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Jo Robinson on March 21, 2006, 01:05:33 PM So (and this goes for the US tour as well)....why Pegg-less? :'( Ooh yes! I will be seeing them in Cleveland in June! And no Peggy? Ah well, I refuse to complain - it's not often we get to see any of them around here! ;) Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: mikshaw on March 21, 2006, 03:52:01 PM any reports on the Keswick gig last night. Friend of mine was there and thought the the concert was ok but only ok. She said Simon was forgeting words. Basically she didn't think there heart was in it. Tell me she speak with fork tongue
Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Chris on March 21, 2006, 08:59:02 PM This was posted to the Fairport email list this morning - I believe you are allowed to quote a few lines for 'review' purposes, without infringing copyright....
"couple of fluffed moments but nothing worth laboring on, a setlist comprising a couple of covers and a very good selection from the entire repertoire" But he did post a few photos here (http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/gridding/my_photos) Title: Re: Fairport Acoustic - Spring Tour Post by: Big Dave on March 21, 2006, 09:07:33 PM Cheers for the Phot's Chris. How are you?

Reviews from our American cousins please!!! :) Don't think I'm going to be able to wangle a ticket that far...
