FAIRPORT CONVENTION

Support from JENN BUTTERWORTH

Friday 3rd April
The Old Market Theatre // Brighton
Doors 7.00pm

Fairport Convention have been entertaining music lovers for over half a century, having
formed in 1967. 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 Spring 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 &amp; 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, Ric Sanders on violin, Chris Leslie on fiddle, mandolin and vocals. Fairport will be
joined on stage by former member Dave Mattacks on Drums.
Fairport will be joined by the wonderful, award-winning Jenn Butterworth as Special Guest
on the tour. Jenn is an incredible guitarist and singer based in Scotland.

Quotes
"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." The Guardian

"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." Folk &amp; Tumble
