Oh no...poor Ashley...that's awful news. I met him and had a chat at Cropredy back around 2005 and he is a lovely guy. Sending love and wishing him a speedy recovery.

Just booked flights, buses, hotels and 3-day pass for the MoonJune festival in Teramo (Italy) next month.  Lots of prog and jazz - David Cross Band, Markus Reuterr with Truce, Gong, Soft Machine, Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy playing Rainbow Dome Music.  Actual pass was only c.£85!

Very sad news, and wishing him and his family all the best. I (like many others here) have had the pleasure of seeing Ashley play in various iterations of the Albion Band over the years. Will give the guv’nor discs a spin tonight.

Sad news - fingers crossed for his recovery.

Very fortunate (with a few other members of this parish) to have seen Ashley's epic 80th Birthday concert in Birmingham last year, and to have caught him one last time in a duo gig with Blair at King's Place, London, in June.

The gig at King's Place was more of a Q&A than a gig, the guys played some traditional material, some Dylan, some Leonard Cohen, some of Blair's originals and regaled the audience with tales of Jimi Hendrix jamming with Fairport at the Speakeasy club, also revealing that the poet Philip Larkin considered Fairport Convention the only rock group worth listening to...

Sad news indeed. The 80th birthday do was a good celebration (anyone heard any more about the possible release of it?), and we also saw him with Blair on a mini-tour, but it was already clear it wasn't going to be playing much in the future.  Hope he is able to make a good recovery though.
