Keen in particular to know which Tull song(s) were performed, and the setlist in general. According to the Fairport website Tull was part of the mix. Mostly interested to see if it was something other than Lifes a Long Song or Jack Frost both of which Peggy's dealt on before. More than welcome again but my insatiable Tull antennae must be kept attuned.

Monday, June 19th, The Zanzibar, Seel Street, Liverpool. Support from Tiny Tin Lady and Nancy Elizabeth Cunliffe. Doors 7.30. Tickets £8. Tel: 01744 608320/Email> bernieforkin@hotmail.com Great gig last night. Excellent opening acts whilst Peggy and PJ were on top form . Thanks to Bernie for bringing them to Liverpool. Ps. I think The Zanzibar would be a great place for a regular folk, roots and acoustic evening. Cheers johnnysaint

Thanks Johnny,
A disappointingly small turnout, but it was really a tryout for the venue, which passed with flying colours. Great sound, I thought.
The stayaways missed a good show. Peggy & Peej were fab - it's hard to generate warmth and intimacy to a small crowd but they did it in spades. A preposterous level of musicianship. They were kind and misguided enough to invite me to join in on "King Harvest", evidently believing that, because I hang round with musicians, I can sing.
Having a voice like a cinder caught under a door, I declined. I would have joined in on "Pipeline" but I hadn't brought my bass.
Thanks too to TTL, who were knackered after Big Session and Nancy Elizabeth Cunliffe who, I think, has a real future. Haunting is the word.
Here's a question.
How many board users live local to Liverpool?
Would you support a monthly night at Zanzibar on the lines of that model event, Farnsfield Acoustic?
Thanks again, Johnny.

Alsager near Crewe. About 100 miles round trip. Doable. Slightly quicker to St Helens. Would you support a monthly night at Zanzibar on the lines of that model event, Farnsfield Acoustic?
Yes, provided it was at a weekend, didn't clash with FA or a festival, and I wanted to see the artist. This really deserves a thread of its own!

I live in Newton le Willows and have recently been to the Zanzibar to see a local Liverpool indie-ish band called Neon Hearts. Nice little venue. An acoustic night there sounds interesting. Is there anything of that nature in St Helens or isn't there sufficient demand?

I put events on in St Helens, usually at Citadel, though they're between directors at the moment and don't appear to be able to commit to anything.
As soon as they know what their future is, I'll look at it again.
2008 is, of course, Capital of Culture year so it would be nice to get something established in time for that.
Maybe I should start a thread.....?

Bringing this firmly back on topic - here's the latest press release....
Fairport Convention bassist Dave Pegg and Dylan Project guitarist PJ Wright have teamed up for a series of duo gigs this summer.
Their two-man show, called A Night Off With Peggy & PJ, will be at The Mill Arts Centre in Banbury on Wednesday, 5 July starting at 8pm.
The title gives a clue to the approach: a mix of stories, songs and tunes from various sources. "We're really looking forward to this tour," says Dave Pegg. "We'll be playing our own original material as well as covers of our favourite songs."
The duo's material will be drawn from artists like Fairport Convention, Sandy Denny, Jethro Tull, Pete Scrowther, Mark Knopfler, and The Band. There will even be a few rock 'n' roll era classics.
Dave and PJ will play a range of acoustic instruments including guitars, bazouki, mandolin, dobro, harmonica, and bass.
"Peggy is a great raconteur and I know plenty of duff jokes," says PJ, "so it should be an idiosyncratic, rocking evening of virtuoso fun for all the family."
Tickets are available from The Mill Box Office on 01295 279002

Who else is going then?

I seem to remember reading something about them taping a show (or two?) for a possible live release, but for the life of me, I can't remember where. Does this sound familiar to anyone else? If it's on the official FC website in bold letters, I'll feel like a fool, but I couldn't find it there when I looked, so I don't think it was there that I saw it. I wonder what the chance of them playing the states is? O.k., we can all stop laughing now...
