And (thanks to FC's FB feed for reminding me) a Very Happy Birthday to the old boy. Hope tonight is a great gig.

Surprised that nobody has commented on this.
It was good natured and slightly shambolic. No real surprises but capped by a decent Fairport set (with Simon singing the best I have heard for some while). Peggy was clearly having a whale of a time (and admitted to being refreshed) so that was the main thing. And as Simon Nicol said, Peggy could have chosen to be anywhere on his birthday but he chose to be at Birmingham Town Hall and invited us all along.
Not sure if anyone met up before or after but a definitive pub selection never seemed to have been made. In the end my fragile stomach was misbehaving a bit so I thought it best to avoid the beer. Hope everyone had a good time.

Just got back.
A great evening, perfectly summed up by Al. Highlight for me was probably the storming version of "Like a Rolling Stone" performed by the entire cast.
Great to meet up with Addie, Martin and Adrian. If the pub hadn't shut at 1:30, I think we would probably still be there!

No. As I say, no surprises. In a way, Swarb not playing is a surprise. Jules |

No. As I say, no surprises. In a way, Swarb not playing is a surprise. Jules I know what you mean but the emphasis here seemed to be very much on Peggy's current activities so it was Peggy & PJ, Peggy & Anthony John Clarke, The Dylan Project and the current Fairports. |

Was curious about how this was as well and now I know it wasnt like the 60th with Ian Campbell, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Dan Ar Braz, etc, etc. Thanks for the report and glad it was a good evening....and a good post evening for some of you  |
