Title: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Jefferson on January 30, 2007, 08:38:08 AM As I am to miss Fairport at the Pavilion Worthing next week in favour of the Show of Hands gig at the Halfmoon Putney on the same night, I thought I better make an effort to see the boys before Croppers, and to get my hands on the new CD!
Any one from here planning to go up smoke on Monday 12th? I see the 'show' is at 7pm so I think a full day browsing the guitar shops in Charing Cross Road is in order as well! ;D Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Chris on January 30, 2007, 02:25:20 PM Yes, I'll be there.
Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Jim G on January 30, 2007, 04:17:15 PM I am hoping to go - but am not sure how late to leave it to get a Fop wristband. Don't want to go too early and have to hang around for hours but also don't want to arrive too late and miss out.
Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Anna on January 30, 2007, 05:08:12 PM I'm planning on being there, but again am not sure when to turn up at the shop for a wristband. I guess some enterprising soul needs to phone the shop and find out their usual habits re when they start handing wristbands out for these events... No point turning up at 9am if they don't open the stall until lunchtime...
I'll try to call them sometime tomorrow, but won't make any promises until lunctime at least (and I might forget completely, it's that manic around here some days!) So don't rely on me... Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Jim G on January 31, 2007, 03:19:29 PM I rang FOPP for details. The store opens at 9.am and they will start giving out wristbands then. Apparently there are only 170 available and they will be giving out a maximum of two per customer.
Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Anna on January 31, 2007, 05:18:53 PM A HIGHLY exclusive gig then :D
I'll be there at 9am (or as near as finding a bike bay allows), see you all there. Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Bridgwit (Bridget) on January 31, 2007, 07:53:51 PM I definitley won't be able to go, but it would be good if someone who does go could maybe video a bit and add it to youtube ....
Please. Pretty please! ;) :) Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Ancient Muse (Andy) on February 01, 2007, 12:13:54 AM Good idea Bridgwit
Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Pete Standing on February 09, 2007, 10:12:33 AM I just heard a track from the new album whilst searching for the BBC R2 FA - it is still on the 31st Jan prog replayer.
Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Anna on February 09, 2007, 06:05:38 PM Will see what I can do re videoing, pictures & stuff. Problem is I am a bit shy so although I'll take both cameras, knowing me I'll chicken out of actually asking permission etc. I'm sure oor Chris will be positively bedecked with cameras though...
Only the weekend to get through... :D Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Chris on February 11, 2007, 10:39:12 AM There's no problem with cameras, along as it's not professional kit.
I will be there with a still camera only though. Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Chris on February 11, 2007, 09:12:07 PM I understand that someone has enquired of FC about cameras & video.
The official line I've been asked to pass on is... as far as Iconic, FOPP and FC are concerned amateur not-for-sale video and still pics -inc flash - are fine. Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Bridgwit (Bridget) on February 11, 2007, 09:58:55 PM To everyone who's going -
Enjoy and keep the TAW end up! (as it were) ::) Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Anna on February 12, 2007, 11:39:05 AM Picked up my wristband - YAY! :D
See the exclusive few there! I forgot to pick up my tiara this morning but I'll be the one lugging the motorcycle gear around... If I'm really lucky I'll be able to change into my jeans in the Ladies, but will still have helmet, boots, jacket etc to deal with. Ah well, at least it won't take me too long to get there from Uxbridge. If it matters, I've got my flourescent (2005) Cropredy t-shirt to wear.. Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Big Dave on February 12, 2007, 11:48:09 AM Have a good time ;) [;-)
Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Chris on February 12, 2007, 05:05:35 PM See the tour review thread for a hint of what to expect - Simon on elecro-acoustic, Peggy on bass, Gerry on tambourine, Ric & Chris on fiddle - Chris on mando......
See you there! Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Anna on February 13, 2007, 02:59:14 PM That was great fun!
I was told they were going to play 9 tracks, but I lost count after about 4 so couldn't swear to that. Can't even remember what they did play... But! I did video most of them. Missed Widow of Westmoreland because my arm was hurting, and Meet because it felt somehow sacreligious to video it rather than sing along at the top of my voice. I will try to get something up on thingy-wotnot, ummm, that internet thing, as soon as I get the files off the camera and work out how to upload them to wotnot. I promise not to give the game away about the 4-part harmony, although I know who does it now... Also met the very nice Mr PJ Wright, who gave me a copy of his CD, Hedge of Sound. Tell you what, that's pretty darn good too, and nobody told me that Jude Rees was on it! (My favourite oboist from Isambarde (http://www.isambarde.co.uk/index.shtml) - check them out if you don't believe me, she's great and folk music will never be the same again!) But I digress, Mr Wright is a fine fella and everyone ought to have a copy of all his CD's! Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Anna on February 13, 2007, 03:00:31 PM YouTube!! That's the thingy! Right, onto it...
Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: PaulT on February 13, 2007, 03:45:59 PM Did the Beeb do any filming/recording?
Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Anna on February 13, 2007, 03:50:34 PM Not at FOPP, unless they were being covert about it, but maybe at the lunchtime thing?
Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: jude on February 13, 2007, 03:57:05 PM Not at FOPP, unless they were being covert about it, but maybe at the lunchtime thing? I didn't see anything being filmed, but then who knows..... Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Chris on February 13, 2007, 10:00:11 PM I think I saw a crew member with a video, so watch the website.....
Title: Re: London CD Launch - Any one going? Post by: Anna on February 13, 2007, 11:13:32 PM That'll be good. :)
Just downloaded my videos from FOPP to the PC - sound's OK but the picture's a bit shaky because I couldn't use my tripod and my arm got tired holding the camera high enough that it could see anything. Are we SURE it's OK with the chaps to put it on Youtube??? Wouldn't want anyone coming looking for me... |
