Fairport Convention's Ric Sanders & Vo Fletcher - STERTs concert & workshop
Advertisement
Ric Sanders has been the violinist with Fairport Convention since 1985, touring the world with them and contributing many instrumentals and arrangements which have become fixtures in their repertoire. Prior to Fairport he played in the seminal British jazz-rock group Soft Machine. Over the years he has worked with many artists including Jethro Tull, Roy Harper, Rick Wakeman, Gordon Giltrap, and Nik Kershaw.
Each August Fairport stage their own festival in the Oxfordshire village of Cropredy, an event which now attracts an audience of twenty thousand.
Vo Fletcher’s association with Ric goes back many years, and together they have played in many different musical settings. Vo has written extensively for television and has been much involved in educational music. He has worked both in the studio and live with artists as diverse as Rik Mayall and Nigel Kennedy (just to keep Ric on his toes!).
Together Ric and Vo play a greatly varied repertoire of songs and instrumentals drawing from their vast and eclectic music experiences.
NB Ric and Vo will be running a workshop in the afternoon before this concert from 4pm to 5.30pm. You can purchase combined tickets for the workshop and the concert. Details are as follows:
