Which have been your personal fave wintour support acts?
And who would you like to see as support next year?
Personally I would love to see Martha Tilston in the job in 2008..
I think she would be a very popular choice.
I enjoyed Steve Tilston, Anna Ryder, Bob Fox, David Hughes, Simon & Hilary the best.
Has anyone compiled a complete list?? I have all the programmes from 1990 but they are scattered all over the place!

I've only been to a very few wintours, but of the ones I saw, I enjoyed Simon Mayor and Hilary James the best. Would love to have seen David Hughes though. Any chance of him coming back?  |

Thanks for that Mikec  Good call Shirl.. he was quite good I seem to remember..  It looks as though Jay Turner is the only act to have played twice.. 1991 and 2004. |

Favourite support acts: Bob Fox, PJ Wright and Anna Ryder, in that order.
To support: SotBH, Ken Nicol, Niamh Parsons, or Jez Lowe, in no particular order.

David Hughes wrote the best book. Songs of the Blue House are just a Songs from the Blue House covers band. |

The best Beryl Marriott, Huw & Tony, Jay Turner (first time).
Like them all to a degree apart from Simon & Hilary, who I found boring.
Would like to see Les Barker, Michael Weston King, Boo Hewerdine.

Huw & Tony for me.
Special mention though for Vicky Clayton. At the Worthing gig of the 2001 tour Simon was struck down with flu/laryngitis or some such. He looked like death, had to sit down throughout the gig and was completely unable to sing. The result was that not only did Vicky do her own support slot but she deputised for Simon throughout the entirety of Fairport's performance. Consequently we were treated to a blistering and blissful set of Sandy era Fairport tunes culminating in a Liege & Lief style Matty, making it a unique and special night.

Most enjoyable (since 97) - Bob Fox though I'd prefer to see a David Hughes return in 08. Looking for a new (young) act, I'd love to see Ben Murray & Rosie Doonan. Please not Martha T unless she promises not to sing any self-written songs. She has a great voice but no feel for the cadences of the English language. |
