About Fairport Convention Winter Tour 2024
Fairport Convention has been entertaining music lovers for over half a century, having formed in 1967.
During that time the band that launched British folk-rock has seen many changes, but one thing has remained the same – passion for performance.
This year’s visit will present a mix of long-established Fairport Convention favourites and some surprises from albums old and new.
Featuring founding member Simon Nicol on guitar and vocals, Dave Pegg on bass guitar, Ric Sanders on violin, Chris Leslie on fiddle, mandolin and vocals and joined on stage by former member Dave Mattacks on drums.
Reviews
“Fairport is an institution, a festival, purveyors of memories, and keepers of the folk flame. But most of all, they are a brilliant live band.”
Folk & Tumble
“Stuffing their set with a surprising amount of new material for a vintage act, Fairport is still clearly having fun and brought the house down.”
