Fairport Convention

Nothing to do with bikes!

Went to see Fairport Convention at Lincoln last night, for a bunch of pensioners they still put on a damn good gig! 51 years since they first formed and still going strong (admittedly in various line ups over the years).

Good night out!!

It's a few years since I've seen them, but they're all damn good musicians and put on an excellent show. They have never taken themselves too seriously either, which always helps IMHO....

Went to Cropredy Festival  a few years ago, when we were looking after my bro in laws house. Really enjoyed it 😀

I have followed Fairport since I saw them at the 68 isle of wight festival, hugely influential group, their lineup over the gears have included the great & good of folk and rock....
I personally think they were at their best when fronted by Sandy Denny, fabulous voice and wonderful song writer... sadly missed.

Hahahaha, yes, excellent. Most of today's musicians are too far up their own ar$es to take the piss out of themselves like this...

Yes, a tragic loss, 40 years this year since she died......in her own words, " Who knows where the time goes....."
