Tickets now on sale for Huntingdon Hall, Worcester (01905 611427) - 12 May. Acoustic line-up advertised as Simon, Chris, Ric and Peggy - but its quite an old photo!!

Huntingdon Hall has jumped the gun and as I type are being informed of their error. The spring Fairport Acoustic Tour will be the 4-piece line up of Ric, Chris, Gerry and me. Hope this clears things up.

Is there a venue list, Simon?  I cannot see one on the FC site.  I do so hope you're coming somewhere near me.  I really enjoyed the gig at Grays!   Smiley

Speaking of which, has anyone heard from soundmanjim since that gig?  Or is he still getting over the experience?

PS, nice new avatar there, Simon.

Is there a venue list, Simon?  I cannot see one on the FC site. 

The acoustic dates in the past have only been advertised once the Wintour is (nearly) over - to protect possible sales to the Wintour.

The dates as we know them....

20 March - Keswick, Theatre by the Lake
3 May - Sale, Waterside Arts Centre
5 May - Saltaire, Victoria Hall
10 May - Sheffield City Halls (Memorial Hall)
12 May - Worcester, Huntingdon Hall
14 May - Farnsfield Acoustic - Nottingham, Papplewick Village Hall
15 May - Nettlesbed Folk Club
17 May - Maidenhead, Norden Farm Arts Centre
19 May - Moulton Village Festival

Thanks Chris.   Smiley   Guess I'll have to wait then. 

Wouldn't make any difference to me if the venue dates were posted early.  I will go to both (as long as the venue is within one and a half hours drive) because they're quite different.   Smiley

AS this thread is gathering dates, I guess it's OK to note that Farnsfield Acoustic are advertising the 14 May.

Thanks for the link to Nettlebed. Had a look on there and according to their other things in the area section, FC are playing at Norden Farm Arts Centre in Maidenhead on May 17th. I'm on their mailing list, and it hasn't been advertised yet, so I  shall pencil in the date and wait hopefully in anticipation!

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know which (if any) of these are likely to be standing venues - or have a 'mosh pit' anyway.  I fancy a jigalong...  I'm sure this is nothing like a full list yet, but it's fun to start formulating plans...

The Moulton bigtop, possibly (Simon C?), but otherwise I doubt it. The lads all sit down in this line-up, so it'd be odd if the audience stood....

Just talking to Simon Nicol and he says I can now make the announcement that FAIRPORT ACOUSTIC will be playing for Farnsfield Acoustic on May 14th.. Bonny Black Hare Day (would be great if they'd sing THAT!!)

We are absolutely delighted to have been asked to host this gig.. thank you chaps Grin

The venue is different though..  Papplewick Village Hall near Nottingham...  see website below or IM me for details and tickets.

Hope to see lots of you there.. as well as the Sheffield gig!!
