Fairport Convention
...the members of this exciting band are Simon Nicol (guitars, vocal), Chris Leslie (fiddle, mandolin, bouzouki, vocal), Dave Pegg (bass), Ric Sanders (violin) and Gerry Conway (drums).

Fairport Convention is, of course, renowned as the group that invented the British folk-rock genre. From its formation in 1967, Fairport has had its ups and downs – mostly 'ups' luckily – and recently won the coveted BBC Radio 2 Lifetime Achievement Award.

Fairport's greatest strength has always been playing live. For more than four decades, Fairport Convention has built an enviable reputation for adaptability and innovation – and the current tour proves that Fairport is still able to stretch itself and the range of music it plays.
