TW tonight (yes, up on the shelf for us, means there should be quite a good crowd when they open the balcony) - just hope the snow has melted...

Assumed it was fairly standard. When did the Wintour support not get a run out at Cropredy? |

They were, indeed, knocking around in the crowd, Martin.

With a weekend in Hunstanton, the weather is the least of your worries! Thanks Ollie - we've never been before, so we'll bow to your local knowledge! I've just seen that Maart and BNC & Co are camping out in St Albans for a few days - just our luck to be away when they are here (who told them?)  DC |

Belated report from the Stables - though I can't really add much to previous reports.  Please indulge me when I talk from my/dad's perspective - he had such a good time. I was quite nervous about taking him, as he'd only seen the Acoustic version, but as soon as Fairport came on stage, he noticeably sat up and paid attention. I try not to check-up on him too obviously when he's out, but this time I didn't have to bother . I could see his feet and his fingers tapping to the beat. When I looked at him, he had a happy smile on his face - he was lost in the music  At the interval, a lady came across and commented on how much he was enjoying it. It turned out to be Simon's wife and, when she found out it was dad's birthday, she went off to tell the band. Simon name-checked him, and he got a round of applause - the grin got wider. I don't recall seeing him enjoy himself so much since mum died. At the end we went up to the foyer where I saw Simon and thanked him. I went to collect dad - Sylvia came up again, and he met Simon, Ric and Chris. I'd bought a programme/calendar for me - they all signed it for him!! Harumph! Dad was beaming from ear to ear. As we went out, he had a chat to Peggy (and a hug/kiss!). He said they were 'fantastic' - he couldn't keep still during the music. He talked the whole of the journey home (an hour) - and his comment as I finally left was 'incredible', a word he rarely, if ever, uses. And I think he's finally remembered the name Fairport Convention!! Thanks chaps  . Little things, but they meant SO much to him - thanks for taking the time. As for me, I get let out on my own, tomorrow, at the Cambridge gig. |

Absolutely superb at Tunbridge Wells last night. Thought that the boys had got the mix of old and new spot on. My daughter and I made a note of the set list if anyone wants to know it or hasn't seen the T-shirt! |
