The stage does seem awfully small

Thanks for the photos, Tim.  The stage was a bit cramped, wasn't it?  Ric nearly got hit in the face at one point when someone unexpectedly shot out an arm! Grin

Not  the biggest is it? Did you see the bit where Ric nearly dropped his bow trying to get across to join Chris? I was half expecting to find Gerry located in the pulpit!

Stafford last night was great if a little loud in places... I like my music loud but at one point it all became just a noise! But it settled down!
We struggled through snow to get there so were a little fraught as we sat down just in the nick of time Shocked
Phil Cool and Ken nicol were fab! loved them! entertaining through and through.

Fairport the guys were on top form. Some great suprises in store for those yet to see them! Had a chat to Peggy before hand and then to them all at the end- got them to sign my cropredy 08 Cd. Also bought the tour Tshirt for the first time. Never been inspired before but I liked the design of this one.  So did my partner and daughter so ended up with 3! Daughter chuffed as Chris remembered her from last winter tour and asked her about her violin playing. then drew a little violin when he signed her programme Kiss Grin She also got her programme signed by gerry ric simon and Peggy! Her evening was made. She said they'd played all her favourite songs!
So those who are yet to see are in for a real treat. Wink Grin

good night last night in Runcorn which is a new addition to the wintour, it would suit me quite nicely for it to become a regular stop for the chaps. as its only a 25 minute dash down the m56 for me.
  the band were in good form and a fine time was had by all, i saw Doc Mahone but he was being famous chatting to Simon Nicol so i didnt bother him.

i think we got set #2 judging from previous posts good old songs and a Chris has been busy writing new stuff which all of which i'm sure will appear on the next studio offering

Roughly what time does Fairport's set begin? I'm going to the Harrogate gig tonight, and although I'll probably miss the support I want to be sure not to miss any FC

There isn't a gap between the support and Fairport so it won't be eay to slip in! But I can't actualy remember how long Phil and Ken were on.

From the above posts it looks as if the chaps have played "Set 2" on 4th Feb in Basingstoke, 5th Feb in Worthing and then last night, 10th Feb, in Runcorn, or something like it. Other than a one song spoiler, we haven't had any further clues as to what might be in the second set. Any further sneaky spoilers would be much appreciated! I was at opening night and will be seeing the lads next on 19th Feb in Chesterfield but don't care what they play cos it'll be fab whatever!

What a splendid time at Runcorn last night.  Looked for Jim but after a brief meeting at Oldham for SAG wasn't sure exactly what he looked like (not quite like the avatar).  Thrilled we got the 'other' set list as there were a coupla tunes I just loved in it.  Nice to see John and Paul, Helen Tiny Tin and Bernie and new fiancee, whom Peggy introduced with the wrong name (Oh dear).  A great time, especially that Phil Cool, wow he's really funny and seems to knock up a few good tunes as well.  
The venue was amazing, really lovely, the boys on top form, great tunes and surprises.  Keeping my fingers crossed it will be that same set list for Southport in March.
Enjoy, you peeps in Harrogate tonight and be prepared to have a great side splitting chuckle.
