Nick, Fi and I will be at Oxford, Paul.
A meet up sounds good. There are plenty of pubs near the theatre but I would recommend the Far From The Madding Crowd, which is just round the corner. Any thoughts on time?
Sandra
Sounds like a good 'un, Sandra. how about 6 pm? (like B'ham last year...) Ok Paul. Will post more details nearer the time, lest they get lost. Sandra |

I'd suggest the "Eagle" pub, just across the road from Kings College and 5 minutes walk from the Corn Exchange. Very historic and atmospheric pub. Good beer. Very touristy in the afternoon, but full of students and academics, mulling over dissertations, etc. in the evening. Lots of historical connections with various important research work, as well as US airforce connections from WW2. Interesting nooks and crannies. I may be there, as although resident in Norwich ,work halfway between Norwich and Cambridge, so may nip down that evening. |

In an attempt to keep all the who is going where conversation out of the Wintour reviews I've made this sticky for the duration of the tour.
Let's have reviews in the reviews section and the arrangements for excessive beer drinking and other fun in here. Once the tour is over I'll let this drop off the page or it can be deleted.

Yes, that's one of my long-distance trips - to strike off yet another venue that I've not yet taken a photo in....

*selfish mode*
I've been horribly excessive and seen the show three times already. However, I'm not seeing Fairport again until 5 March and I really don't think I can last that long. I am now tempted by Northampton (or would be if I knew how to get there and whether I can afford a ticket and if there are any tickets left and how annoyed people will be if I go again and so on and so on...)

Suzanne, I went to Northampton couple of weeks ago to see Richard Thompson; briefly met Nuthouse at the venue itself. The Deco Theatre is a small, atmospheric and fairly intimate place- with a nice bar area-order any interval drinks before hand or you have to wait ages-great for people like RT and FC. Good views of stage, at least there was from where I sat. Also followed Nuthouse's recommendation and had a pre-gig pint or two in the Malt Shovel pub, which was great - great friendly atmosphere, good beer, although the Heineken brewery across the road, while an easy landmark, does make it feel like a not too nice partof town, all industrial, etc. The venue is a 15 minute or so walk from there, but make sure you have good directions if you don't know the town. Know what you mean about "people getting annoyed". If I ever get divorced, I think Fairport might be cited in the petition! Northampton seems to have good road links from most places in the country especially Oxfordshire way, and safe parking in the multi-stories in the town centre was cheap, as long as you were there after 5.00pm. I think it was fairly cheap before that time as well.Get your ticket now, as the Folk Britannia/Radio 2 Awards seem to be attracting a lot of interest in the band from the younger Fairport and Cropredy "virgins." All-in-all, yes, just go-you only live once! |
