Fairport Chatter

Does anybody know who to contact about a pitch at the Cropredy Boot Fair?

I'd start by mailing festival@fairportconvention.com.

Ummmmm....this confused me.  May next year - is this really the five piece?

Part of a run of 4 60th Anniversary gigs next May - current 5-piece line-up "joined by special guests reflecting the band's rich and storied history" (from the 2026 tour programme)

Mon 24  PERTH Concert Hall
Tue 25 MANCHESTER New Century Hall
Wed 26 BIRMINGHAM Town Hall
Thu 27 LONDON Union Chapel (the actual 60th anniversary of the the first FC gig)

(And the "acoustic" tour is coming to Gloucester Guildhall 15 Oct, which means I can have a few beers!)

The programme states tix for 25-27 are on sale now, Perth to come soon...

Manchester on sale now £59.74 (inc fees),
Brum tix on sale from Fri 27th £55 (plus fees)
I can't find anything on the Union Chapel site at the moment. That's the one for me!

The tickets are now advertised on the Union Chapel Web Site and go on sale in the morning

I think the football club have a hand in running the Car Boot Sale - there's some info on facebook via the link below, albeit from 2024.
