Title: Fairport supporters Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on February 11, 2011, 12:43:01 PM Seeing the excellent Kat and Jamie last night has led me to trying to remember all the acts thet have supported FC over the years on Wintours...
Does anyone have a list? I seem to remember this topic coming up a few years ago, but can't find it. Title: Re: Fairport supporters Post by: Nick Reg on February 11, 2011, 12:49:42 PM The Expletive Delighted site will tell you. Click on Winter Tours and each programme cover.

Does that count? ;) Title: Re: Fairport supporters Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on February 11, 2011, 01:44:41 PM Thanks... Googled Ex Del... 'Last updated 31st March 2006'... and 'The website cannot be found'.
Yes P that counts. I know someone will know though 8) Title: Re: Fairport supporters Post by: Nick Reg on February 11, 2011, 01:57:50 PM Thanks... Googled Ex Del...

Title: Re: Fairport supporters Post by: Tim Fletcher on February 11, 2011, 03:48:47 PM I think this is the link to use: http://www.musikfolk.co.uk/expletive-delighted/index.html - a Google search sends you to the old version of the site which doesn't work properly. It had me stumped for a bit.
Can I add Bryn Haworth circa 1975 (Rising for the Moon tour) to the list of old support acts? Unless of course my memory is playing me tricks in which case I'll deny I ever mentioned this.

Possibly the first instance of Fairport, or some members, at least, joining the support act for their last number. My first exposure to both township jive & real live (as opposed to radio sessions) Fairport. Fab. :)
