Great show at St Albans - worked out it was my 21st consecutive year seeing Fairport there. Always used to be Friday or Saturday but being mid week was maybe why it was not completely sold out.
Different start to the evening as Phil Cool was a bit poorly, so Fairport came on early, and then Simon's guitar didn't work - or more precisely a lead going into it didn't work.
Not that it mattered - time filled with some amusing banter and then a great show for the rest of the evening. After the previous shows I thought I had the set list worked out so after Rocky Road I was waiting for one of my all time favourites - Reynard the Fox - but he never showed up. The advantage was that 3 shows I went to were all different and equally enjoyable.
It was a pity the St Albans crowd did not see all of Phil and Ken's set because they are really good - hopefully Phil will be better tomorrow after the rest day today.
Paul

Saw a few bands there when I was living in Fife incl Albert Lee & Hogan's Heroes and Runrig. I must phone up the Brewery Arts Centre tomorrow and check there are still tix for Thursday, well just the one as Mrs B doesn't want to come. Been a bit pricey recently what with Swarb and Steve Knightley gigs and a couple of trips to the theatre. Reckon I can afford it as I was on the guest list for Steve's gig. Volunteering in community radio is a great way of getting freebies - I can recommend it.  Enjoyed those clips on YouTube. MOTL sounds great with a bit of electric guitar. |

Additional Gig in Glasgow tonight!
The chaps have very kindly offered to play a one-off, one hour acoustic set tonight at Hillhead Sports Club at Hughenden in Glasgow.
The show will commence at 8pm with local folk worthies, Sanna, who will play a set of around 40 minutes. After an interval Fairport will take the stage for their set at around 9pm.
The cost for this will be a single (one!) £5 note!!
Jack

We had an argument the other night - all because she said I didn't open the car door for her. She said I panicked and swam out my side first....

I heard about this last night from dil_em_ma and Martin Driver. I'm hoping to be there but it depends on what time I get back from St Andrews.
Last night was cracking, by the way. I think I saw you, Jack, but didn't get a chance to say hello.

Excellent! It would be good to see you there Mike! And anyone else who can make it!!
I thought that last night's show at the Glasgow Pavilion was just an excellent gig, it was also enjoyed by Justine and our daughters Eilidh and Alison. My girls were most put out by the Pavilion staff who, when they were dancing together during Mock Morris '90 (my girls, not the staff) were told to get back in their seats!! This was at the side of the room with no-one near them!! Thought that Ken and Phil were great too.
The audience was small but perfectly formed and really enjoyed themselves!!
Make sure you do say hello tonight!
