Good performance at Tewkesbury tonight. 1 new song, quite rocky. A few relative obscurities from the dustier drawers of the repertoire, and some new gags from Ric. Winter Wilson, despite a few first night nerves, did really well, seemed to be making quite a few new fans...

Care to share? Behind a spoiler alert? We're going to Southport tonight, so would appreciate any info as to what to expect (except the punchlines to Ric's jokes!) |

OK, for David and Peter...
The chaps referred a few times to feeling refreshed after the "big year" and wanting to get back to mixing up the setlists - they certainly seemed to be eager to "get on with it" to coin a phrase.

Sounds good. Wish I could get along to a Wintour gig this year, but I don't think it's going to happen. Maybe the acoustic tour though.

They did say that the setlist for May/June will be much different from the Wintour set. And they are playing with the choir again... Fri 12 Oct at Tewkesbury Abbey. Probably best if they lay off the aquatic-themed songs, given local sensibilities. And indeed Down in the Flood!

Very much enjoyed tonight at Southport - I thought that the band were much rockier and louder than I've seen in a while - nice to see Simon's electric guitar quite high in the mix and I liked the new song too.

Loved every minute. Great music and atmosphere however you are not allowed to rock in your chair, cos it upsets people. Looking round at the cardboard cutouts I am glad I rocked out on my chair, I enjoyed the total concert and did not have a face on me like a slapped a..se, as some people apparently had!

I find this rather strange. I never like to know the set list prior to attending a gig. It’s like asking someone to tell you the plot of a book before reading it! |

Spoils the surprise for me and I then keep waiting for songs rather than enjoying what is being played. It takes all sorts, and that’s ok. |

I’m with you. A friend of mine once got terribly upset at a gig because he knew what we were about to miss as the encore, while I was busy celebrating what we’d actually heard. Although he does have a point when it comes to Iron Maiden and advance planning his toilet breaks.  |

The funny thing is that, on balance, I'd prefer not to know in advance, but then I'll always look at a set list if it's posted. Just irrational I suppose. Grateful Dead concert-goers never had this problem. |

Been to Southport & Buxton, really enjoyed both and the new song definitely benefits from a second hearing. Winter Wilson are as good a support act as I can remember Fairport having, bought 2 CDs and having played them both it was money well spent, hope the recent trend is bucked and they get a slot at Cropredy. Buxton Opera House is a great venue, been once before but didn't take time to appreciate it. I think it is staffed mainly by volunteers and they are all brilliant. Will definitely find a reason to go back there.

We go to Buxton twice a year to see English Touring Opera productions which I would recommend greatly. |
