The Wintour kicked off last night at the Roses, Theatre, Tewkesbury and it was great.
Hannah Sanders and Ben Savage were able support and, funnily enough, their nerves seemed more settled that Fairport's!
Here's the setlist, courtesy of Simon Nicol.
Edit: Modified to reflect reality
DM definitely changes the sound of the band - and for the better. Additionally, his keyboard playing was welcome, possibly the first keyboard playing band member (albeit only for this tour) since Maart?
Anyhow great fun, get thee to the tour. Well worth it.

Andy, I don't recall the seventh song of the second half being played...?

That’s an interesting set list with some surprises for sure! I believe Ric has done some on stage keys occasionally.

Indeed he has. I don't think I've seen that. Was that a very long time ago?

He played a bit of keyboards, after his accident stopped him fiddling and C L depped for him, in 92 I remember him playing very occasional keyboards certainly at Cropredy a long time after that...Not saying those memories are correct, mind!

Same setlist last night, I think.
I really enjoyed DMs drumming, and agree that he really does add a bit of oomph to the set.
I don't think I have heard them play the 2nd song from the 2nd half for a long time now.

I can never understand why anyone would want to know a set list beforehand, so thanks for keeping it hidden!

I find it really useful to have the set list otherwise I don’t know what we’re going to play. Morning Bill ….sorry ….and I do agree with you…..then I read it! Fotheringay on spoons and triangle eh!

The last time I saw Penguin Café Orchestra (10th Anniversary of Simon Jeffe's passing) they provided everyone with a programme, giving background and introduction to each of the pieces that would be played that evening. More of that sort of thing, I say! Cheers Nick

I can never understand why anyone wouldn't, but horses for courses and all that! For me the anticipation of what is coming next is part of the live gig experience. I still live in hope that, one day, Fairport will play “Book Song” live! (If anyone from Fairport Towers sees this and wants to make an aging man very happy, I’ll be at the Worthing gig🤣)
