Fairport Convention's Ric Sanders & Vo Fletcher - The Poly, Falmouth

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 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!).
