Anyone still needing Fairport by Fairport book, it's currently on sale at just £10 on the Rocket88 website hereBejesus, that's some fire sale. I'm rather tempted by the British Underground Press of the Sixties special edition. |

Richard's been and done and priced me out, but a very happy birthday to him regardless.

I am told £65 by the person who is purchasing mine. I don't know if that is the lowest price or where that information comes from. |

As ever, too expensive especially when you have to add rail travel costs (£32 for each return) plus food & drink (probably another £20 at least) so that means £117 per ticket at least. When will artists, agents, promoters, venues etc realise not everyone an afford these types of prices...and yes I do know costs have to be covered.... |
