Anybody who hasn't been able to get tickets, or can't quite afford them, might fancy trying this competition: http://www.mojo4music.com/blog/2009/03/win_fairport_convention_tct_ti.html |

Tickets on sale now - seems as though the first 12 rows on the arena are gone already.
You haven't bought all of them have you, Chris? |

Any idea on how ticket sales are going for this ? (i.e. how full will the RAH be on the night - got mine already)

Right - I'm off to meet the family and then head for South Kensington. Reports in due course and hope anyone else going has a good time.

Just got in...a sublime evening of music !!! Eliza Carthy was as entertaining as ever, Kate Rusby (with strings) very polished, Seth Lakeman moved the earth, and Fairport provided a rousing finale. Reg Meuross also played a couple of songs (heard of but never heard him before, would like to hear him again). The evening was expertly compered by Mike Harding, with FC introduced by Simon Mayo (he told the yarn of how FC got the gig in the first place). Highlights of FC's set included Summer in December, Lord Marlborough, WKWTTG featuring Kellie While, a rocking Dirty Linen attached to Matty Groves, and MOTL featuring Kellie and Seth. All in all, a great evening - apart from the excellent music it certainly increased my awareness of what the Teenage Cancer Trust is all about. By the way, The Albert Hall is still a very special place to watch live music, must go there again soon - FC's 45th Anniversary Tour in 2012 ?

It was certainly being filmed, not sure who by. We had front row seats  (sorry Chris looks like that's where all the front seats went - to guests/comps) the photographers were a bit of a pain until they were asked to crouch down It was Eliza's first gig since the birth and she was lovely. And Kate had her strings from OFF, she was lovely too. Seth was good but sweaty, and Fairport were just themselves and a great lively set. (but sorry, I didn't like the new song called 'Festival Bell' I thought it was very cringeworthy  - others may have different opinions  ) Didn't get to bed till 1.30 and we only live 40 miles from London. |

I have a few poor quality phonecam pics from last night, apologies they are not better but they might give those unable to attend, a little flavour of the day.
Pic 1, shows our own Nigel Reavill with TCT's Nigel Reavell
Pic 2 Eliza with daughter Florence who was experiencing her first gig, (may as well start at the top)
