Lovely review, Anna.
Couldn´t there be an "Acoustic Off The Desk"!?! There are some tunes and songs that seem to stay in the Acoustic repertiore only.
I´d happily buy a CD with today´s acoustic line-up!
I'm totally with you there! Please, please, please?!!! Or just a download? I was on about this on the night of the St Helens Gig, FC's performance was superb and I for one would definately buy a CD of an Acoustic gig. |

Anna - the 'te de de de de' bit in Spring Song is called Princess Royal, not Rosemary's something-or-other. Sorry. It's a morris tune. Oh, and send the review to the chaps. Then they'll have something NEW to put on the site
Yup! Just been listening to Princess Royal on Spiers and Boden's "Bellow" and it's definitely the "te de de de de" bit.   |

I´d happily buy a CD with today´s acoustic line-up! Seconded, thirded whatever! Monday was the first time I've seen the acoustic line up & they do a lot of things that would be great to have on CD so how about it chaps? Anna's review definitely captures the atmosphere of the night. As she said the 'stage' area was very cramped & Simon picked that night to burst two guitar strings (on successive pieces - The Hiring Fair/Summertime & John Gaudie) & on each occasion removing the offending string required a complicated manouevre to avoid knocking down Ric's mike stand or crashing Gerry's cymbal! Roll on my next Fairport gig - well at least I've got RT in Glasgow on Monday to look forward to. |

I'm very tempted to go to that. It's just the money. I'm kind of hoping my dear darling father would like to go and thus will take me! |

Just home from the 100 Club. Another good show and another broken string for Simon (John Gaudie). No evidence of Tiny Tin Ladies - perhaps the Great Wen is deemed a bit too exciting? I managed to scribble down the songs - although the first half was done from memory so isn't in the right order. I won't post it here in case anyone doesn't want things spoiled but will try to write a longer review in the 100 Club thread tomorrow (or later today).

They're only supporting on a few dates, next (and final) ones being Bury and Chester. See http://www.tinytinlady.com/gigs/gigs.html |

Looking at that gig list, I'm not sure about the Mill Banbury gig on 19th of this month - according to the Mill website, there's nothing on) - and where is "Chitade" on the 18th November?

Could it be "The Citadel" St. Helens ? |

Very likely!The Citadel have the Dylan Project with TTL in support listed on 18 November, not to mention Bernie's thread. See http://www.citadel.org.uk/site/whats-on/the-dylan-project-p173991, which the speeling daemons seem to have visited too. Not to mention the out of date publicity photo and information (8-( |

Just to clarify, TTl were asked to do Bury & Chester but both had already booked support acts. No idea who, sorry.
Our Banbury Mill gig has been redated for March 20th. Also our Worksop gig is off as the venue (Circle Arts) has gone tits up - same applies to Vin Garbutt, Brass Monkey & anyone else they're still advertising.
The Myspace page is constantly updated and the .com site will be asap.
Next 3 shows are
Nov 3 - Peggy's Bash
Nov 8 - Brudenell Club, Leeds
Nov 16 - The Store, Dipton.

We had great seats down at the front of the Corn Exchange, Maidstone, and as the chaps came on Chris smiled and waved to us. I can't remember the set list, but wouldn't want to spoil things anyway. It was a brilliant night with added 'live' moments. Poor Simon was suffering the effects of having had his flu jab the day before but still managed a brilliant performance. My two friends that we had taken with us, both Fairport virgins, thoroughly enjoyed themselves and are now converts . Jack made it through to the end without falling asleep and we had a lovely chat to the chaps after the performance. Now we are really looking forward to Peggy's birthday bash in November.
