fairport convention tour 2023

At The Barrier

Live music, reviews and opinion / est. 2018, fairport convention announce autumn 2023 tour dates: news.

Cropredy is just around the corner, and already the good ship Fairport has its sights set on new horizons as an extensive 25-date autumn tour is announced.

Fairport Convention must surely be one of the hardest-working bands in existence. Fairport’s Cropredy Convention – our favourite event in the year’s musical calendar is just around the corner – less that three weeks to go… – yet already the plans for the next bash around this island of ours are in place. Fairport’s autumn tour kicks off at Lowdham Village Hall on Friday 6th October and will visit 25 venues across England, Scotland and Wales before winding up at The Twickenham Exchange on Saturday 4th November.

Indeed, 2023 is turning into a super-busy year for the folk-rock legends. Throughout February and March, the chaps took to the highways and byways with the great DM tagging along with his drumkit and the wonderful Hannah Sanders and Ben Savage in support for the annual Winter Tour, before they headed off to the warmer climes of Ibiza and France for a programme of festival and cruise ship appearances – and all that’s before we even start to think about Cropredy…

Of course, they love it as much as we love them – as vocalist/guitarist Simon Nicol readily acknowledges: “As ever, the excitement steadily grows as Cropredy weekend looms larger in the calendar – without doubt it is the personal highlight of the year For each of us in the band as well as for many of the regular attendees [and that definitely applies to the At The Barrier team…] Who will deliver the greatest surprise? Whose performance will live longest in the memory? Will there be an actual ‘you had to be there…’ moment?

All the build-up and then suddenly the moment is gone and we have another twelve months to wait – but the batteries have been recharged and the level of love for all things Fairport is polished like the trophy it is.

When October comes round, we’ll be regrouping and returning to our natural home – the van on a motorway somewhere, back on the road and touring our music on smaller stages around the country, revisiting favourites and making new ones, seeing old friends and eating and drinking in our favourite watering holes: returning in a small way the love people bring from their home towns to the Brigadoon which is the Festival site of Cropredy. We hope you can come and join the fun and enjoy the songs old and new.”

Well – I can promise one thing: At The Barrier will be popping along to several of the shows as the tour makes its way up, down and across the land. Be sure to check these pages for our news and views!

But, before we get to autumn – there’s still Cropredy to enjoy. It’s now just a matter of days before we’ll all be meeting up again in THAT field at Home Farm, and this year’s show promises to be a doozie. This year’s bill might just be the most eclectic yet, with the disco magic of Nile Rodgers and Chic to illuminate our Thursday night, a huge dose of sleek 70s pop from 10cc on Friday, a chance to Get Down, Get Down, Get Down with Gilbert O’Sullivan on Saturday, as well as the last ever (allegedly) show from Strawbs; Ziggy goes to Kingston, courtesy of Easy Star All-Stars, there’ll be a generous serving of Sunday lunch from Toyah and Robert Fripp and a glorious array of Cropredy debutants , including first-ever appearances from At The Barrier favourites Merry Hell and The Young ‘Uns.

Oh – and don’t forget Fairport – there sure to kick up a storm with their bill-topping Saturday evening appearance. DM will be back behind the kit to add his own special brand of controlled explosives to the evening’s proceedings, and I have just an inkling that the band may have one or two pleasant surprises up their collective sleeve… we’ll soon find out.

Tours most with, live reviews.

It’s often incredible to consider how just the name of one artist, alone - in this case, it’s Fairport Convention - can be completely synonymous with a certain genre of music, even if it’s a broad one; sure, Fairport Convention were indeed at the forefront of the British folk movement, but the truth is, the sound that they cultivated way back in the sixties is really iconic enough that their name is enough to have the word ‘folk’ in mind straight away; they’re one of the genre’s great unifiers, in that respect. Their work ethic is something that’s frankly awesome to behold; they formed in 1967, and by the time they released their seminal album Liege and Lief two years later, they were already four albums down. They continued to write and record at a similar pace until the late seventies, eventually dissolving in 1979, but after reforming in the mid-eighties, they continue to play to their devoted fanbase today, with original members Dave Pegg and Simon Nicol still involved and playing shows across the UK on a regular basis, playing new cuts and old classics to crowds that continue to include a younger faction who are just being turned on to the band’s genre-defining catalogue.

Fairport Convention - getting better with age!

Lowdham Village Hall, Friday 10 May 2019

Playing a mixed and varied selection of both very old through to very new, they never fail to disappoint.

Old songs were met with rapturous recognition, new songs with quieter appreciation but loud applause.

The obvious humour of Dave and Ric, the dry-humoured comments of Simon Nicol, the virtuoso performances of Chris on multiple instruments (is there nothing he can't play?) and the incredible beat machine that is Gerry complemented great musicianship and beautiful harmonies, both vocal and instrumental.

In particular, the violin duettes between Ric and Chris were absolutely stunning.

Enjoyed by one and all in a convivial relaxed environment, this yearly Warthog production is never to be missed, and certainly didn't disappoint this year!

A wonderful concert by superb musicians. A fantastic venue, a totally enjoyable experience.

These guys have honed there skills to such a high level, a special night to watch masters at work.

Great banter with the audience too, some of them could have careers as stand up comedians!!!

Fairport Convention

Celebrating the 56th anniversary!

Fairport Convention have been entertaining music lovers for over half a century, with 2023 being their 56th anniversary!

During that time the band that launched British folk-rock has seen many changes, but one thing has remained the same - Fairport’s passion for performance.

This year’s Autumn Tour will present a mix of long-established Fairport favourites and some surprises from albums old and new. Fairport Convention have won a BBC Lifetime Achievement Award and Radio 2 listeners voted their ground-breaking album Liege & Lief 'The Most Influential Folk Album of All Time'. Their story has been celebrated with television documentaries on BBC Four and Sky Arts. 

The band features founding member Simon Nicol on guitar and vocals, Dave Pegg on bass guitar and vocals, Ric Sanders on violin, Chris Leslie on bouzouki, mandolin, banjo, fiddle, and vocals.

Presented by PCL

"Stuffing their set with a surprising amount of new material for a vintage act, Fairport are still clearly having fun and brought the house down."

"Fairport is an institution, a festival, purveyors of memories, and keepers of the folk flame. But most of all they are a brilliant live band."

Fairport Convention Autumn Tour 2023

This Friday, Fairport Convention kick off their Autumn tour starting in Lowdham’s The Village Hall on  Friday,   October 6th; the nationwide tour will take in 25 dates across England, Scotland and Wales before winding up at The Exchange in Twickenham on  Saturday , 4th November (see dates below).

Simon Nicol of Fairport shared the following:

“As ever, the excitement steadily grows as Cropredy weekend looms larger in the calendar: without doubt, it is the personal highlight of the year for each of us in the band as well as for many of the regular attendees. Who will deliver the greatest surprise? Whose performance will live longest in the memory? Will there be an actual “you had to be there….” moment? “All the build-up and then suddenly the moment is gone, and we have another twelve months to wait – but the batteries have been recharged, and the level of love for all things Fairport is polished like the trophy it is. When October comes round, we’ll be regrouping and returning to our natural home – the van on a motorway somewhere, back on the road and touring our music on smaller stages around the country, revisiting favourites and making new ones, seeing old friends and eating and drinking in favourite watering holes: returning in a small way the love people bring from their home towns to the Brigadoon which is the Festival site of Cropredy. We hope you can come and join the fun and enjoy the songs, old and new.”

Featuring the well-known faces of Simon Nicol on guitar and vocals, Dave Pegg on bass guitar and vocals, Ric Sanders on violin, and Chris Leslie on bouzouki, mandolin, banjo, fiddle and vocals, their last studio album, Shuffle and Go , released in 2020, was very well received. It was reviewed here by Folk Radio’s David Kidman, who concluded:

Shuffle And Go  is another solid, and solidly desirable entry in the Fairport canon. For the vintage Fairport fans (and I mean that in the kindest sense), there may be no strictly-“trad-arr Fairport” here, but the wonderful music on this album is firmly in what has come to be regarded as the “latter-day Fairport tradition”.

Fairport’s Cropredy Convention 2018 – Live Review & Tribute to Maart Allcock

Rewind: Steeleye Span & Fairport Convention on Ainsdale beach (1971).

In 1971, Granada TV decided to make a special 30-minute concert on Ainsdale Beach featuring Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span . Steeleye featured  Peter Knight ,  Tim Hart ,  Maddy Prior ,  Ashley Hutchings  and  Martin Carthy , and Fairport featured the late great Dave Swarbrick , Dave Mattacks  (who reunited with the band earlier this year for their winter tour) – and, of course,  Dave Pegg  and  Simon Nicol .

Steeleye Span kicked off the set, opening to  The Lark in the Morning  from their then-new album  Please to See the King  before a very laid-back Ashley Hutchings introduces a set of Irish reels in as few words as possible (believed to be –  Dowd’s Favourite / £10 Float / The Morning Dew ). They end on another track from their new album,  The Female Drummer . Hutchings shares that the song is from Yorkshire, “from the singing of The Watersons, that’s where we got it”.( read our detailed article here ). Fairport then took to the stage with  Angel Delight  – the song is named after ‘The Angel’, a former pub based in middle-class Little Hadham, Hertfordshire. It was also their home – a hippie folk commune complete with roadies. They all have a lot to be happy about, as a few months prior, a Dutch lorry driver dozed off at the wheel and drove through their dwelling. The driver was killed, but luckily, no one else was – including a fortunate Dave Swarbrick, who had decided to change bedrooms the night before.

They follow with the traditional tune,  Bridge Over the River Ash , also from their Angel Delight album, over which they trade banter, including the tongue-in-cheek warning “watch what you say, we haven’t been paid yet”. A Bob Dylan cover follows with  Country Pie  before their Angel Delight finale,  The Journeyman’s Grace .

Fairport Convention Autumn 2023 UK Tour, Celebrating 56 Years of British Folk Rock

Jul 24, 2023

Fairport Convention has been making great music for over 56 years. Credited with originating British folk-rock music, the band has been through many changes but the current members retain a passion for live performance.

Ahead of the band’s return to the fields of Oxfordshire for their Cropredy Convention this August, legendary British folk rockers Fairport Convention have announced dates for their extended Autumn 2023 UK Tour…

Starting in  Lowdham’s The Village Hall  on  Friday,   October 6th , the nationwide jaunt will take in 25 dates across England, Scotland and Wales, before winding up at  The Exchange  in  Twickenham  on  Saturday 4th November . This follows an already packed year of shows – including the band’s Winter Tour earlier in the year, in the company of celebrated former-drummer Dave Mattacks – plus forays to both France and Ibiza, as well as a handful of summer warm-up dates.

“As ever, the excitement steadily grows as Cropredy * weekend looms larger in the calendar: without doubt it is the personal highlight of the year for each of us in the band as well as for many of the regular attendees. Who will deliver the greatest surprise? Whose performance will live longest in the memory? Will there be an actual “you had to be there….” moment? All the build up and then suddenly the moment is gone and we have another twelve months to wait – but the batteries have been recharged and the level of love for all things Fairport is polished like the trophy it is. When October comes round, we’ll be regrouping and returning to our natural home – the van on a motorway somewhere, back on the road and touring our music on smaller stages around the country, revisiting favourites and making new ones, seeing old friends and eating and drinking in favourite watering holes: returning in a small way the love people bring from their home towns to the Brigadoon which is the Festival site of Cropredy. We hope you can come and join the fun and enjoy the songs old and new.”    Simon Nicol, Fairport Convention  

2023 will see the band that pioneered the UK Folk Rock sound celebrate 56 years in business, and whilst Fairport Convention has seen many changes in that time, one thing has remained the same – their passion for performance.

With more than half a century’s back catalogue to choose from, fans can expect to hear long-established Fairport favourites, surprises from albums old and new, and maybe even the odd unexpected cover.

“They’re a band still in control of their material, and, more important, still having fun with it.”  The Times, 2023

* Cropredy is a pretty village five miles north of Banbury in Oxfordshire. Since 1976, Fairport’s Cropredy Convention has seen the tranquil Oxfordshire community come alive with the best of the UK’s Folk, Rock and Pop purveyors, welcoming an invasion of up to 20,000 music-lovers each year. This year’s programming is as eclectic as ever, with Thursday night’s slot playing host to the iconic  Nile Rogers & CHIC , whilst Friday night will see English Rock-Royalty  10cc  and  The Strawbs  take to the stage. There’s also appearances from  Toyah & Robert Tripp ,  Beans on Toast , and a healthy dose of bass courtesy of  Easy Star All Stars . The acclaimed “Friendliest Festival in the World” takes place this year on the 10th – 12th August, and as always, will be opened and headlined by  Fairport Convention,  alongside some very special friends. Limited tickets are still available to purchase  here
