Fairport Acoustic Convention

[Steph]

Peggy was missing - his doctor told him to lie down - so that is what he's doing. So, it was Ric Saunders, Simon Nicol and Chris Leslie - they did a pretty good job. Chris played a lot of mandolin and some OM - looked like a Fylde - guitar style bridge. The music and performance was excellent - you'd think these guys played together forever, or as Simon Nicol said "since his dad was in the band".I took a load of friends who had never heard them before and everybody had a good time. Great venue - only seats a few hundred - I'd recommend the show and if you live in the general area check out the venue - they have a great selection of diverse music coming up.

They cancelled their swing out West, I was going to see them at McCabe's this weekend.

They played at an old semi-renavated 20's movie theatre in my little town (Boonton NJ) on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. I heard about it only because Richard Thompson mentioned it at a show a few weeks earlier. Couldn't make it, and haven't heard how (or if )it went.
