"Fairport 'Connections' for Butlins!!

Our own Dave Pegg has been invited to be a patron of 'The Great British Folk Festival' which takes place at Butlins Skegness later this year.

Peggy has programmed Fairport 'Connections' for Sunday 4 December. He says, "I had the great pleasure of playing at Butlins Festival last year and am expletive delighted to be invited back and am honoured to have the chance to book the acts."

Peggy continues, "The idea behind Fairport 'Connections' is to present performers who have either supported Fairport on our winter tour or who have played at our annual Cropredy Festival. Gerry Conway and myself will be joining annA Ryder, Anthony John Clarke, Bob Fox, P.J.Wright and Steve Tilston for the afternoon show commencing at noon and the day finishes with a set from Brittany's fabulous Churchfitters. The evening show features Jacqui McShee's Pentangle, Martyn Joseph and concludes with a set from The Dylan Project. It's a great chance for myself & Gerry to play with some of our fave performers and I can thoroughly recommend the Butlins festival. See you there."
