On our way to London. If anyone is going, I'm wearing a Green Seniors badge and too much stubble, Mrs Keith is in bunchies and a secret Fairport t-shirt. All ready to jump about.
Hope you both have a brilliant time. We would have been going but the venue won't allow children in  . I then tried to get tickets for the Chippy gig but they are sold out.  Shall just have to hope that we can see them at a FAC gig. |

Fun so far. TTL were excellent and full of life - really surprised us with their harmonies. Fairport a little tired, I think, but it's only the first half, and Polly was as good as the Nine version so we look forward to good things in part two...

Mrs K was getting drinks in, anyway I had filled up on sake and soya beans earlier. I was also giving a present to the boys via Danni, and unsticking myself from the floor (that sounds wrong on so many levels - it was beer). An exciting interval, one of the best I've ever been to.
Anyhow, part two was, in Mrs Keith's words "better". We like South Dakota to Manchester, and the new encore - Gerry going back to his roots with a cupped ear. WKWTTG was beautiful, especially when Beth sang. The combination of Hawkwood's Army and Matty was fierce with Simon's segue from the super new song leading to a Matty that seemed to dribble from the boiling pits of hell. Cool!
Anyway, enough. We will now listen to the new CD and learn the easy bits for the summer.

That's still not right. I was stuck to the floor with beer; the present was something else. (I think I got away with that).

Yes, I can vouch for the sticky floor! Euuch! And it had nothing whatsoever to do with Keith & Mrs Keith! Good to see you last night - see you at your next gig!
Beth reduced most of us to tears last night with her verse on WKWTTG. Simply utterly breathtaking. Emotions high at the end as the end of the tour approached - a lifetime experience I reckon for these four lasses, one I doubt they'll forget....a major success for the lads too - every gig top class!
Off to Chippy later for more emotional releases....this tour has been the best for at least 5 years, probably longer. Shamew I can't get to the next gig.....Banff in Scotland, March 31st.

Well, what a wrap!
In a heaving Chipping Norton Town Hall, Fairport (And the Tiny Tins) celebrated until the licence expired - so no interval tonight.
The girls got a ukelele each from the chaps, and the lads got a fine bottle each from the girls - and the biggest birthday cake you ever did see - yum!
The Talkawhile award got presented in where the interval would have been.
I'm useless at reviews, so I'll leave it to the other Talkawhilers present to sum up far better than I. With only six lamps, the lighting could have been easier to work with, but here's a couple to be going on with.

So why the purple feather boa? Or is that one of those really silly questions?

It belonged to Tiny Tin Helen, but for the final song Mr. Pegg decided it would keep him warm

Here is a pic of the cake Chris mentioned, it was the largest cake I have ever seen. So big in fact it took two burly chaps to lift it.
Each member of the audience was offered a slice of the cake as they departed Chippy Town Hall last night and I can report, it tasted delicious.

Here's a little bit of a review Because of various difficulties with the timing and licensing, there was no interval, so it was one whole long performance, first from Tiny Tin Ladies who were getting a bit tearful because it was the last night. They were each given a bunch of flowers and they had given the most enormous cake to Fairport. (Which was very delicious. I know because I ate a bit! ) I thought TTL were excellent and the addition of Kat and her fiddle made for a lovely rounded sound especially with the extra harmonies. The segue (is that the right word?) into Fairport's set was seamless with Ric and Chris joining in on TTL's last number. The stage was very crowded and there was hardly any room to move with all them instruments a bits of wiring. So mainly the band stayed where they were and Ric bounced on the spot! Simon had to give Shirley and I a thinly veiled clue as to when we should present the award and neither of us tripped over anything or broke anything while clambering about. Lots of hugs and kisses and then back to the show. I have to say that at this point I retired to the back of the hall as the speakers were right in front of me and my ears were boinging a bit, but TTL performed their dance in front of the stage and jolly fine it was too. I think the whole of the show was pretty similar to the rest of the tour, but they did play Matty Groves which I think had not been a usual thing on the tour. So it must have been in honour of the award. Somebody'll tell me if I got that wrong!! Anyway it was a splendid show with a very emotional MOTL, naturally. I am sure there is a lot I missed out so please add to this. Anyway I had a jolly good time |

I guess that's the "timing and licensing issues" Jude spoke of. |
