A few quick views from Tewkesbury last night. A full house (geddit?) were treated to a fine set from Rosie Carson (cor, she IS tall!) and Kevin Demspey - great playing and singing from both. They were joined by Ric & Gerry for their final song, with Chris, Simon & Peggy coming in for its second section. Straight from the off, Fairport looked energised (Ric bouncing around as in days of yore), the sound was nigh on perfect, the new material was warmly received, as were the better-known songs, and Simon did play a lot of electric.  Ric's new instrumental is a twisty, windy, tricky tune - a jazzy feel to it - that the band played immaculately (to my ears) - so they can & do push themselves... CDs, calegrammes/progendars and t-shirts all on sale (hello again Martin & Ellen). Great to see such an array of instruments being played, btw, including the Kala U-bass (just like mine  Simon mentioned (when I asked him) that the final Cropredy act isn't quite 100% confirmed, so he couldn't say anything. Not even a hint - good pro that he is! A fine evening that bodes well for this year's tours & Cropredy. If you've not yet got a ticket for the Wintour - there's not many left... And the dates for the acoustic tour are in the calegramme. |

Thanks Paul - that does sound promising. I'm looking forward to next Weds at High Wycombe even more now!
Anyone else going to be there?

Really enjoyed last night's show at The Atkinson in Southport - the new songs sound very good, even on one listening. I bought a copy of the album (and a t-shirt!) - lots to look forward to. The support act are also good - Rosie is very tall, though I suspect she must know that herself. Nice to meet up with some list members - Bernie and Tony. See you at the Spurs game Tony!

Always good to meet up with Bernie & Georgie and a pleasure talking to you too Peter. YNWA. Thoroughly enyoyed the gig and the new songs. Clear Water and John Condon in particular. |

Hoping to to spoil anything here so no details (but feel free to moderate if wanted) it does seem as if Maart has been airbrushed from Fairport history lately.

Hmmm ... a cryptic claim. Can you explain with the use of a "spoiler" button? |

Very good night at Wycombe yesterday. Sounds like we had the same set as posted by Shankly. Heavy on the new songs, but in this case I don't think that was at all a bad thing. Pretty much 2 hours of music from Fairport, and Kevin Dempsey and Rosie Carson were good as well in their 30 min slot.
Just a shame that there were so many free seats in what isn't a massive theatre. I'd definitely advise anyone wavering about going along to take the plunge.

The guys were in very good form in Worthing tonight, the banter was excellent, and the new material sounded great. Enjoyed Kevin Dempsey & Rosie Carson's opening set too - Dempsey's a fabulous guitarist and a master accompanist, Rosie's a delightful fiddler and vocalist. Well worth catching on this tour, folks...

Just look at recent set lists.
I don't think it'll be as pointed as it may seem. A band that has been going a long time tends to concentrate on two things when making up a setlist for a tour: songs from the new album that they are promoting; and old songs from their vintage years that their long-time fans will want to hear (either their hits or their classics, depending on what band we're talking about). If there's any time left then they may add in a few "deep" tracks from elsewhere in their catalogue, and that's where the Maart-era songs might get a look in, but in the main it's this middle ground material (neither fresh nor classic) that tends to be discarded along the way. Even somebody like Neil Young rarely plays songs from the past 25 years other than those he's just released. Jules |
