G'day,
Lunasa are a great lively band, we've seen them the last 2 years at the Blue Mountains Folk Festival, a pity they're not coming this year.

Fairport played (from memory) some of the old ones: Meet On The Ledge (I have their original recording 1969??), Crazy Man Michael, Matty Groves (amazing version), Sandy Denny's Who Knows Where The Time Goes (now revived & the title track of their latest album), Royal Seleccion No. 13 approx.(Well that's what it's called on The Bonny Bunch Of Roses album), Ralph McTell's Hiring Fair (Saw Ralph too a few months ago at the same venue) plus a selection of numbers from their latest including Dangerous (by Aussie Kristina Olsen) & John Gaudie (by multi instrumentalist Chris Leslie who put in a great performance). Plus lots more in 2 hour long brackets.

Cheers,
Alan
