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.  Cannot agree with that. And the reason I can't agree with it is because it is wrong  I love Martha's self-written songs... |

I enjoyed Mundy-Turner. Nice couple and lovely music. My absolute faves tho (not Wintour but accoustic but I've not seen them that often so I'm taking a f*****' liberty) were the Fastlane Roogalators in the 100 Club. They were fantastic!  |

So many good musicians! Such hard choices. Of those I have heard and have not been recent Winter Tour support, I'd plump for David, Martha or SftBH.

My favorite support act for the Winter Tour (SO FAR!) has been Simon Mayor and Hilary James - this is mainly because of the Hilary’s Appalachian Mountain dancing routine whilst wearing an evening dress! That was a year I went a bit mental and managed to see the winter tour 5 times Croydon,Canturbury, High Wycombe, St Albans and Birmingham (I think) - sadly Hilary dropped the dancing at the third venue due to an ankle inury – and despite re-assurances that it would be resumed at Cropredy it never made it back into the act.
I always think it’s a shame that recordings of Fairport guesting on the support’s last number are not available on cd I thought the Hilary James tune they did together was particulary pleasant.

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!
Show of Hands & All About Eve (Acoustic) for me. I like Martha Tilston's album. |

And the reason I can't agree with it is because it is wrong I love Martha's self-written songs... Ditto - the lyrics to the song "Artificial" are excellent. I can relate to them fully. |

For me...
Top 3 (no particular order): Hilary n Simon, Huw n Tony W. Make it top 4... Steve Tilston.
Can't vote for Mr Hughes as I didn't actually go and see that tour, but read his diary avidly, does that count?
Next time: Yay to a return for David H ... don't suppose we'd get a replay of the Tango would we?
One act I don't want to return: Anna Ryder.

She does seem to divide opinion doesn't she?! I have to admit to not thinking an awful lot of her support slot when I saw her but saw her a few years later at a little festival and really enjoyed her. The book was quite enjoyable too... |

Since the official winter tours began I would have to say that I enjoyed the Marriotts, Vikki C and Andy Guttridge the best. But I do remember Bryn Haworth being excellent many many years ago! For some reason it sticks in my mind. And I would like to see Nick Harper supporting the boys one day. I really enjoyed his set at Croppers the other year (it probably helped that he encored with a Zappa song. If you remember the song, you'll understand why I got some very odd looks as I made my way back from the bar through the seated masses, singing along at the top of my voice). Or a guy called John Smith, who supported John Martyn at the Barbican last year and was just superb.

Well, I'd like to see Chris While and Julie Matthews as the support act. Then I'd like them to stay on stage for the second half and sing with Fairport. It would make me a very happy man.
