"I remember my first gig and being welcomed so warmly by the audience at the Roses Theatre in Tewkesbury: that was my first real introduction to the enthusiastic and generous fan following that Fairport is blessed with."

The poor chap must have forgotten Cropredy '92.  I haven't.   Wink

Er...yep.  Exactly.

So in other words it wasn't Chris's "first introduction to..."  I've said elsewhere on here that Cropredy '92 was my favourite Fairport performance post-'84....
