We're going to see them in Morecambe on Friday.
Does anyone know if there's a support act on the tour?

I thought they only had a support act for the winter tour. But someone will be along in a minute and put me right.  |

They've already done one acoustic gig (not on the gig list on the website) in Maidenhead, and there was support in the form of PJ Wright. However, this was an accident, as only half the band were there (as mentioned in the thread Chris started about that particularly unusual and brilliant gig!) So my guess would be: no support, but hopefully four members of Fairport!

There won't be a support at the Papplewick gig.. there usually isn't on the Acoustic tours.

Having only seen them at Cropredy, will there be a requests section like RT does on his acoustic dates?
We'd love to hear Rosie (in case SN is reading this!).

Not usually, but it's happened before. I seem to remember the full line-up at Stratford Civic Hall 7 or 8 years ago when there was much looking at watches and a discussion as to whether a particular request was for Simon's or Sandy's "Deserter". Part of the appeal of live music, I guess. |

Just back from the Morecambe gig and a great set it was too. Support came from Tiny Tin Lady who joined in at the end for Meet on the Ledge and the main singer (Beth?) sang some of Who Knows Where The Time Goes.
Afraid I'm not good at remembering song titles but they did Genesis Hall, a couple of Morris toons, a Hot Club number and songs about camper vans, fossils and lighthouses.
More tomorrow. I'm off to bed.

Here's an odd thing from last night's gig. Not long into their set Simon was talking about 1968 and said they were going to play a Richard Thompson song from their second album. So I was trying to remember what other RT songs were on Holidays apart from Ledge. But then they played Genesis Hall. It's one of those moments when you're sitting there thinking your memory is playing tricks on you... "I'm sure this song isn't from their second album and Unhalfbricking was recorded released in 69 - oh well, never mind, just enjoy the music".  Maybe he meant the second album Sandy Denny sang on or maybe his memory is playing tricks on him! Some other song titles have come back to me - The Wood and The Wire, Canny Capers and Over The Next Hill. We were sitting quite near the front and being a bit of a fiddle player myself I was watching Ric in action. He was playing some pretty amazing stuff, not just the solos but how he filled in at other times, including some nice use of delay. Unfortunately I couldn't see much of Gerry as Simon blocked my view so I just saw his hands when he was playing the bongos and tambourine. Made me think of Thing from the Addams Family.  |

Glad you enjoyed it, Colin. I grew up near Morecambe (well, in Lancaster, in fact), and when I saw the gig was on a Friday, I wondered about combining it with a visit to the relatives. But then I figured that even if I set off the moment work was finished, I might not get there on time.
Hope Anna manages her journey to Scotland and has a great time there.

Unfortunately the acoustic line-up has never toured Scandinavia so I haven´t been able to catch up with them. ONBB is one of my fave 90`s albums so I think an acoustic FC could be an exciting live experience. Anna, I´ve been following your "Scottish Gig of The Year" planning so I look forward to a review and- especially- a set list. |

Actually, they have - and only about 4 years ago too. November-ish, I seem to remember, and I went around all three (four?) gigs.
