Winter Tour 2007 - Dates

[Chris]

Is the latter a gig, or a private party?

THe newsletter says
"2007 Winter Tour!
Keep your eyes peeled for news of the Full Band's annual excursion - this
time starting February 1st in Tewkesbury running through to a party night in
Chipping Norton March 11th. More later....."

I doubt they'd be telling us about a private party....hope it's not in the theatre, as it doesn't hold very many. Town Hall would be better....

[Chris]

The tour flyers were out atChipping Norton tonight, henbce the announcement.

It's paaarty night at Chipping Norton, and the tickets won't be cheap....

[AdrianW]

Now, that could really be fun!

[Chris]

At first glance for me - at least 11, with a possibility of a dozen.

Tewkesbury, Leamington, Wycombe, Birmingham, Chesterfield, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Croydon, Cardiff, London & Chipping Norton.

And possibly Southampton too....

[Mix (Mic)]

Barring divine intervention the Winter Tour will be the same as the Autumn Tour for me,
zero!

James Aldridge, listmaster from the Fairport emaiul list, put this map together....

[NeilR]

Why Chipping Norton for a party? It looks like a relatively small venue.

Why Chipping Norton for a party? It looks like a relatively small venue.

Because that's where Fairport HQ is..............

[PaulT]

Tewkesbury or Brum for me - sadly not Chippy, as I'll be somewhere in the middle of the Namibian desert that night, on a Prince's Trust fundraising Challenge. 

That's got to be the best excuse for not attending... 

I wonder if Steves Ashley and/or Winwood will be in the audience at Tewkesbury?

Have just spoken to The Theatre at Chippy who are handling admin for the Town Hall gig on 11 March - they advise that bookings will not open until the New Year.

We usually go to Burnley for the Winter Tour but I've just noticed that Fairport are also playing Huddersfield and we can actually get there quicker than to Burnley!  (Plus we can avoid all the security searches as a result of Sir Bob attending the Burnley gig ).

Is the Lawrence Batley Theatre a good venue?  Any information would be nice.

Ta!

[MarkV]

Think it will be Basingstoke for us again.
