Title: Fairport and Tir na nOg! Which year was this? Help needed Post by: PeteN on August 12, 2011, 11:45:12 PM I'm gradually developing the Tir na nOg website and today received an image of a poster of Tir na nOg supporting Fairport Convention at Reading University. It's definitely between 1971 and 1974 as that is when Tir na nOg were on the road.
I've tried to insert it here but don't think I can (or can I?) For the time being it's on the publicity/archived gigs subpage of the gigs page on www.tirnanog-progfolk.com sorry, that particular subpage doesn't seem to have a hyperlink. The big question is - what year was it? Anyone able to pinpoint the year? many thanks in anticipation Pete Title: Re: Fairport and Tir na nOg! Which year was this?

26 April does not fall on a Saturday between 1971 &1974 Title: Re: Fairport and Tir na nOg! Which year was this? Help needed Post by: naomi reading on August 15, 2011, 07:42:11 PM The date was 24 April 1971 at Reading University - my first date with the man I was to marry (still married!) :)

Fancy getting the date wrong on the poster!!! Maybe you and your husband will go and see them again in two weeks time :) Pete p.s. and thanks Martin for the detective work - now, why didn't I think of checking past calendars??!!! |
