We're going to have a poll and send a loud message out to Fairport about the songs and tunes we want to hear during the Autumn Tour. So get opinionated, everyone.  * If you could only choose one song what would it be? * Is there a song that has fallen by the wayside in recent years and needs to be resurrected? * Is there a song that needs to be 'rested' for one season? I'd like to know what you think. Radcliffe Civic Hall here I come! Sir Robert Peel Pollster |

"Old, New, Borrowed, Blue" had a very different selection of songs on it, compaired with the contemporary Fairport Wintour set and that was the original 'Acoustic' lineup. Gerry has hinted that something similar is planned this time. |

I'd be happy for Matty to take a short rest....

Matty Groves is one that I would always want to hear, even More so than Sloth, which took more than a little rest for some years.
As for the ones I think should take a rest I'll keep that to myself, for fear of upsetting fans of certain tracks.

I know there is no chance (apart from not going) but I could quite happily never, ever hear 'Over the Next Hill' again. Although it's not an old track it would be great to hear 'My Love is in America' again. If they could only play one song, for me it would have to be either 'John Gaudie' or 'Genesis Hall'

My one song would have to 'Dark Eyed Molly' - I've never heard them do it live but it's one of my all time favourites. I also have to say it wouldn't be right for me not to hear matty!  |

Tam Lin, if they've got time to learn all 200 verses. I really like I'm already there and I'd love to hear Lalla Rookh after becoming addicted to the Acoustically Down Under album.

They'd have to take a girlie singer along with them but I'd like to hear them do Fotheringay.

I'd like to hear "Summer before the war" or "The Rosehip".
I could do without Hiring Fair - I like it, but not that much...
But the ultimate wish - to see Swarb stroll on at some point in the tour to sing "Rosie", but I'd settle for him fiddling & letting Chris (Leslie, not our resident photographer!) handle the vocals.
PS - how about a Swarb smiley? A tiny fiddle wearing a cheeky grin would do...

Good forbid! Have you heard me sing? (or attempt to!) No, better Mr Leslie!! |

I agree with you about Sailing Boat, Chris. I think it's an absolute dirge..... Close to the Wind. Not heard that live yet - but I don't get out much I always enjoy Journeyman's Grace - the first FC track I ever heard live, so it has a special place in my heart. And John Gaudie and My Love is in America.......bit of a Chris Leslie fan, wot, wot wot? Gower Flower |

Right, I'm off to see Ric and co in Worcester. I'll write a review somewhere on the sight tomorrow. |
