Thanks Bob, I realised and pulled my post - but not before your razor sharp eye caught it!

OK. Set List 2. They played it in Worthing but I apologise as I can't remember it in detail. It was as Set List 1 but with the following exceptions as far as I can recall.

Good show in Harrogate last night, pretty much a full house. I've no idea how to hide spoilers, so I won't mention specific songs. Shame on me, this is the first time I've seen Fairport.

The last time I saw Dave Pegg playing bass in Harrogate was with Tull back in 1990. That night he got rather cross during the "balloon instrumental", something wrong with his bass. He threw it at his amp and stormed off. No such tantrums last night!

Are you sure it wasn't directed at Ian or whoever was on drums that day?  The amp might have just got in the way you know..  Roll Eyes Smiley

One word for the gig last night at Wycombe ... sublime! The set was varied and fantastic and the guys were tight. The sound was superb. The new encore added some  light relief and a few laughs. Well done everyone. Great night.

Hells teeth, that's a really bitchy review, isn't it?  Can't imagine anyone taking a Fairport gig that way, but still....

The bloke can't even spell Ric's surname!

Basingstoke, what can you expect? Wink Grin

Perhaps if he didn't have a 9 to 5 job he might find it reasonable to plug his wares. Seem to remember reading that in the 70's a journalist, who had upset the band by writing unjustified c**p, received a pint of beer over his head from DP for his troubles.

He's entitled to his p.o.v. and the piece wasn't badly written as such.  I can see how the regular sales pitches might come over as crass if you're not used to them.  He should realise however that it's a not insignificant part of the band's income.  He could have been more charitable.  And he certainly wouldn't have had to look far to find more things to be positive about.  Eh, whatever.  Tomorrow's cyber-fish-and-chip paper!   Cool
