Fairport Convention

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. 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.
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 been celebrated with documentaries on BBC Four and Sky Arts and decorated with awards including the BBC Lifetime Achievement Award and ‘The Most Influential Folk Album of All Time’ for Liege & Lief.
