Interesting that the newsletter claims a strong stylistic difference between the FAC gigs and the wintour. Does that indicate a more electric approach for the wintour this year? I hope so. |

Is anyone here going to be at the Nettlebed gig on 19th May? I'm hoping to be there and it would be fun to run into a few people if anyone is around.

.....in May 2007,the band celebrated its fortieth anniversary: and in August 2008 Fairport's Cropredy Convention sold all advance tickets for the very first time.

We had an argument the other night - all because she said I didn't open the car door for her. She said I panicked and swam out my side first....

Bummer! No visit to the Robin at Bilston this time. To Shrewsbury or not to Shrewsbury? that is the question.

Hmmm. Southampton is the nearest to me. Bit too far for a school night I think.

Some of you may be despairing too soon! Don't they normally do some gigs in the autumn as well? We saw FAC (well, those who managed to turn up, anyway  ) in Maidenhead last September. Still, as I don't know for certain that that will happen again, I might finally have to find out exactly where Nettlebed is, just to be on the safe side. |
