Not perfect. Never claimed to be.

A bit too far for us, hope you have a good time, David.

In fact we're not going to be able to see Fairport until August. Whilst I understand that costs are escalating for everyone, including Fairport, that also includes us. £37 per seat for our local gig in Swansea is just not on the cards for us.

I hear that most, if not all, the gigs on this tour are selling out, so I don't feel bad about not going, especially given the cost of MOT-related repairs on our car yesterday and our campervan in the very near future.

So, have fun, everyone, see you on a field.

Last minute decision to head across to Manchester tonight.  I'm staying at the Ancoats Travelodge.

Anybody around and fancy a pre- or post- meetup?

Drop me a line at davidmjs at gmail dot com if you fancy it.


We'll be there. not been to this venue before, although I think I may have sat my accountancy exams there in the 70's!! Is there a decent pub nearby and whats the parking like? As its friday evening, probably set out early and avoid the motorway.

I'm looking forward to seeing the chaps next Thursday down the road in Exeter, and will be bringing three others with me - one local friend who is a Cropredy semi-regular but hasn't seen them outside Cropredy for many many years, a friend of his who I think may never have seen Fairport before, despite enjoying their music, and an American friend of mine who just happens to be visiting then, and is a real Fairport virgin, but I think will enjoy them.
