???After a few years I'll be back to see Fairport, and it will be Oxford on February 4th. Unfortunately I can not book a B&B in advance, because you need a credit card to do it. Does anybody know somebody who runs a B&B in Oxford, so that I don't have to be afraid arriving in Oxford next tuesday and not find an accomodation  By the way my homepage www.foreveryoung-germany.de is not dead, just sleeping at the moment. I changed the provider and haven't found the time to work with the new software. But as with seeing Fairport live: I'll be back one day ! |

2 more sleeps to Tewkesbury! Not quite as catchy as Motorhead's No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith, but somehow strangely suitable for a Fairport live album title. |

I guess it's a bit late to start playing "guess the setlist", but... and in no particular order: A song (cover?) with Edwina Hayes Walk Awhile The new CL song they played last year At least one other CL song/tune from his new album Matty MOTL WKWTTG Danny Jack's Reward Albert & Ted Mercy Bay Ace of Spades Wild Cape Horn Doctor of Physick Sir Pat Fotheringay Cell Song (There's a tiny little window...) The Hanging Song Banks of Sweet Primroses Rosie How about a couple of Simon solo tracks? Over the Lancashire Hills and Rosemary's Sister? Merry Sherwood Rangers would be ace. And I'd love to hear the chaps play the Albions' "Under the Rose".

I believe they're recording a new album in the spring, so I expect they'll be playing a fair few brand new numbers.

I have, rather foolishly, booked a holiday for the week they are playing in Worthing. Doh!  |

Well, a cracking show in Tewkesbury last night - I don't want to spoil the surprises (and there are a few!), so I'll simply say that it was great to see Martin Driver on the merch table, Chris's new album is lovely (as is his new jacket), and if the new songs debuted are anything to go by, the next FC album should be a corker. Quip of the night: Peggy was listing the Cropredy line-up, and when he mentioned the Waterboys, Simon chimed in with "going for the local vote?" (Tewkesbury currently surrounded by flooded fields). And Ric came up with a real groan of a joke. I'm sure he'll use it again...  |

How about the 'spoiler' button? Give me a reason for wanting to go. Please |

How much did he cost? Paul |

Saw them at Milton Keynes last night and the chaps are in fine form. I totally agree with PaulT ..... and won't spoil any surprises  Had a nice chat to all of them and seem in a very positive mood. Enjoy if you are lucky enough to catch them in your neck of the woods. Keith |

I was planning to go to Oxford tomorrow but, owing to a family bereavement (and a pranged car!) I seem to be spending more time on the M5 to/from Taunton. I will try and get to another date instead.

Thanks for the spoiler explanations, both here and the really quite a lot in email etc.
Not sure why it's a secret, but there we are.

Dammit. I have real problems resisting spoilers. Must be the lure of forbidden fruit. I shall resist, I will not click...
