Nice set list.
Just booked up for Stafford, there may be a chance we won't see them this August.

Sounds Great  Am off to Exeter next Sunday - anyone else in the West Country there? Will be taking a Fairport virgin  (never even HEARD of them  ) - hopefully setlist sounds good for him too! Would appreciate knowing if more merchandise does appear - I may need to stock up. My partner (the Fairport virgin) and I are off sailing later this year and "Who Knows" when I'll be back! {Really really good to see Sir Patrick Spens  on setlist  } HOWEVER, I will be playing, singing and swaying to Meet on the Ledge at 11.55 on Saturday of the second weekend in August wherever I am – Portugal; mid Atlantic; Brazil; wherever !!!!! Have fun everyone  |

Have just looked at the setlist again in the context of the By Popular Request album and made the following, possibly surprising realisation.

How to reply while circumnavigating the spoiler aspect?
I didn't vote for any Chris era songs for the ...Request album because his tunes are a bit young for a rework.I was thinking along the lines of oldies that would suit the current line up, with a bit of rearrangement..I also didn't see the point of voting for songs that are already in the current repetoire,or every line up's, like Matty or ...Ledge.I was proved wrong in the case of Matty.
I certainly hope that the band don't take it as a vote of no confidence in Chris' compositional skills...he wrote some great stuff for the last album,and plenty more goodies besides - My Love Is In America being one that springs to mind.

Usually get to Tunbridge Wells to see FC but can't make that one this year so have booked tickets for the Theatre Royal, Margate.
Never been there before so really looking forward to it.

Really good gig at Tewkesbury last night; I was in row E, but from where I sat, I couldn't see any spare seats. The chaps are all looking really well - maybe the new arrangements have indeed rejuvenated them (as per Gerry's sleeve notes on BPR)? Whatever it is, it's certainly working! And a big pat on the back to Kieran Goss - lovely voice, crisp & clear guitar playing, and an immediate rapport with the audience to get the evening going. |

From Peggy's notes in the programme:
"We have had to cut down on the merchandise stall this year due to economics, so only have our two new releases and this tour prog/calendar for sale".
That's a shame...

A few doors away from the Gatehouse is the Rose and Crown. It used to be a dive but has recently had a re-ferb and is now (I am told) a good old fashioned pub. Head out of the doors and turn left towards the Market Square.
If you don't like the R & C keep going to the square and keep going left around the Shire Hall. Tucked behind Bates Gunshop is Joxter Bradys.
Both pubs are less than three mins from the Gatehouse and both have real ale.

Really good gig at Tewkesbury last night; I was in row E, but from where I sat, I couldn't see any spare seats.
There were a couple in Row B until after the interval.....we arrived at the same time as Sir Patrick (traffic...Evesham..don't ask..  ) and found some seats at the back; it was actually a quite pleasant change of view for us. Set list as at Oxford, no surprise there! Continue to be really impressed not only with the new arrangements, but also what the Chaps (as per Gerry's sleeve notes) have left well alone. Re Chris' songs (see above in this thread), although there are only two authored by him, he certainly puts his mark on the interpretation of a traditional waterside song from North Oxfordshire...absolutely beautiful last night. Onward to Leamington on Saturday...... S&J |

Ok, so this calls for an entrapreneur to set about making t.shirts that in a few years will be worth a fortune on ebay as there won't be any official ones Now, if only I had a business head and brain. This calls for Dragon's Den and co..."I'm definitely in..." |
