Fairport Convention have 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 – their passion for performance.
This tour will present a mix of long-established 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, and Chris Leslie on fiddle, mandolin, and vocals. Joining them on stage will be former member Dave Mattacks on drums.
They will also be joined by the wonderful, award-winning Jenn Butterworth as a special guest on the tour. A renowned guitarist and singer based in Scotland, Jenn brings her exceptional talent and warmth to the stage.
