Yes, the corridors of TAW are a much quieter place than they once were, many of their inhabitants having moved elsewhere. It is now a playground for a small and sporadically enthusiastic band of regulars. |

A fine evening's music from the chaps last night in Morecambe with the set list being the same as the Swansea one posted on setlist.fm.
Luke Jackson has a good pair of lungs on him, hasn't he? He didn't really need to go through the PA when he was in full flow. I recognised a couple of the songs he did, Honeycomb being a favourite.
As for the headliners, I enjoyed hearing the numbers from Shuffle and Go - Cider Rain and Moon Dust and Solitude sounding particularly good. Nice intro from Chris about his love of all things space-related. As for the older songs Sloth was excellent. Simon's playing is as good as ever and MrsB was impressed with his electric 12 string.
And I seemed to have something in my eye at the start of MOTL. But it was great to see them in concert again having missed out on the last couple of tours.

Tickets booked for the Union Chapel and another step back to something resembling normality.
If anyone else is going just to mention that there are no Great Northern trains between Finsbury Park and Moorgate so it will have to be the tube to High
Also the start time appears to be 18.45 - I know we are all getting on and need our sleep, but that does seem a bit early!

Not sure whether we can still call it a Wintour show but the re-scheduled Leeds gig took place last night.
A different sort of evening. No support act, Gerry playing electronic drums and the band sat down, Fairport Acoustic-style. Still brilliant though. Similar set list to Swansea, minus The Journeyman's Grace, with a few extra songs & tunes thrown in. Portmeirion got a welcome airing as did Festival Bell and Over The Lancashire Hills, from Simon's Before Your Time. Great that so many Shuffle & Go songs have survived the enforced break. It's a terrific record and the band seem relish the having the opportunity to play the newer material.
A fab night. Here's to next time!

Glad Simon still dusts down "Over The Lancashire Hills" , a highlight from his solo career and hugely preferable to " From A Distance " which is best left to Cliff or Bette

When I saw them last week it was a much longer set than we usually get on the wintour, which will account for the extra songs. Although there were two long sessions of Ric jokes!! |

Final night of the tour at the Fleur de Lys, East Hagbourne. Similar set list to shows listed above though lovely to get Portmeirion as it has always been my favourite Ric tune. Realised that I hadn’t previously heard the Shuffle and Go songs played live before; some of them stand up very well. Lovely to feel that things are getting back to normal again - Matty and MOTL, all must be right in the world. (We even had a Cropredy downpour!)

Having been disappointed when I saw Fairport at Wickham last year, I was blown away by them at Emsworth last week. Excellent mix of old and new, and they were all on form. Ric's jokes do appear to have got worse though! On the performance of a few songs, I bought a very reasonably priced Shuffle and Go. Paul |

A real highlight of the Fairport catalogue, regardless of era, I reckon. |
