Fairport Convention
Fairport Convention have been entertaining music lovers for over half a century, having
formed in 1967 and goiing on to win a BBC Lifetime Achievement Award, with Radio 2 listeners voting their ground-breaking album Liege & Lief "The Most Influential Folk Album of All Time’.
With a story which has been celebrated with television documentaries on BBC Four and Sky Arts, the band that launched British folk-rock has seen many changes over the years.
Presenting a mix of long-established Fairport favourites and some surprises from albums old and new, the band features founding member Simon Nicol on guitar and vocals, Dave Pegg on bass guitar, Ric Sanders on violin, Chris Leslie on fiddle, mandolin and vocals, with former member Dave Mattacks joining on drums.
