I suspect they're not listing them together deliberately in order to maximise sales for the Autumn tour? But googling will provide your answer...or the one as it exists to date. |

It was a brilliant night…. Lots of old songs not heard for a long time, just fantastic.
I won’t mention any titles, but one had a bit of cosmic Ric 😁
The support Danny was great too.
We met friends there and even one who had come up from Somerset, which made the evening even more special.
Go if you can, you won’t regret it.

I can not recall the last Time I saw Fairport on one of their Winter tours, however yesterday morning as I was walking by the Nottingham Playhouse I called into the box office and enquired if they still had any tickets available...I duly purchased one. I must write that I really enjoyed the concert, far more than I had anticipated. Big shout out to Chris Leslie who is in fine voice. I am somewhat a fan of DM and it was a real pleasure watching and hearing him perform.

I was at the gig in Nottingham too - I did look out for you Jenny & Gareth, but didn't see you.
A very enjoyable concert, featuring a welcome dusting off of some older songs that haven't been aired in a while. Full Fairport setlist is behind the spoiler button...
It all felt very well-rehearsed and well-put-together, despite it only being day 1 of the tour and the sound engineer being a late replacement, as apparently the usual guy was taken ill. Musically they were spot on, and the jokes were up to the usual standard...
I would echo Jenny to catch them if you can...!

Oh, now, thank you for that - I was waiting for a set list before making a final decision on this tour. Gladys Leap was my first introduction to Fairport, so I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for it. To the box office! |

To be honest, David - if they’d asked me to write it for them they wouldn’t have been far off…  |

To be honest, I'd almost given up on Fairport what seems like years ago...I last visited Cropredy some 7 years ago...the last time Jude performed...although we were not to know that. I stood watcher Judes set with my best friend David and he told me prior to this that he was recording an LP with Jude in the not too distant future...in addition their would be a real possibility that Big Big Train would also be making an appearance...If only Covid hadn't struck, the David would have been able to have taken to the Cropredy stage...he like myself had been a long-time follower of the band and attended many previous Cropredy festivals...sorry I digressed! I never fully embraced Fairport when DM left so stopped attending their Winter tours but would attend Cropredy. I loved Gerry's playing in other groups I'd seen him with, yet I felt he was under-used within his playing ability...I simply could not get on with what became the longest standing (and sitting) lineup...May be (like others) there is sometimes a get off point and this can be for many reasons...yet on Friday last just before attending a memorial at the Nottingham Cathedral (close to the Playhouse) I called in and enquired about ticket availability...I must say I was so pleased to have attended the gig...it feels in part like a familiar Fairport...I'd love to return to Cropredy (lack of finances will ultimately dictate that). If in doubt, give them a go if they are visiting a town near you.
