Title: 2008 Fairport USA Bad News Post by: MPinelli on February 08, 2008, 08:14:53 PM :'(
Just checked Fairports USA booking agent site http://www.rgmbooking.com/home1.htm click tourdates and then Fairport... It says they won't be visiting us here in the USA this year. Sad news indeed. I was getting a little spoiled by the annual visit. Hope to see you guys here again soon! Michael P.

This year, however, I would have traveled East or West to catch them. Title: Re: 2008 Fairport USA Bad News Post by: Jo Robinson on February 09, 2008, 01:08:35 AM Well, phooey. My sons and I were looking forward to another visit at The Winchester. :'(
Ah well, maybe in '09.... Title: Re: 2008 Fairport USA Bad News Post by: Ollie on February 09, 2008, 10:23:37 AM From what I've heard, they're missing 08, with a full line up in 09.

That would be kewl.

The schedule is grueling, the venues are tiny, and rarely sold out. They can't be doing it for the money - just the goodness (and hopefully, adventure) in their hearts - God bless 'em!
Enjoy the sabbatical, Gentlemen. Keep the set list fresh and we'll see you on the next go! |
