Just been to a Fairport Convention concert at Canterbury and they were fan-bloody-tastic!! They really are a band that gets better with age and to think Simon Nichol was singing some of the same stuff in the '60's is proof positive that folk singing keeps you young! It wasn't just their friendly banter during the act that made it seem like a folk club gig (only much bigger), they came out to the foyer afterwards and signed CD's, programmes and any old bit of paper pushed their way. The only one who didn't appear afterwards was the drummer Geoff Conway and he was probably knackered after beating those skins for almost 3 hours. Their musicianship is just amazing and the support act PJ Bryan fitted in brilliantly for the traditional Meet on the Ledge finale. If you get a chance to catch them during this UK tour, take it - you won't be disappointed!
