I'm planning to see Fairport this weekend when they're playing Canterbury. Has anyone seen their 2008 tour so far and if so, who's the support act? Any new material making an appearance this year?

Anthony John Clarke is the support act.

Arnie, go over to talkahile forum, there is plenty of discussion about what they are playing on this tour, and all the changes. Above all, wish I were there, so have fun!

According to a review in the Independent, a few days ago, they're doing a large chunk of Babbacombe Lee.

I agree wholeheartedly with the comments about AJC. Talented song-writer, performer and a gentleman.

I saw this band in 1968 - it would be great to see them all again - great girl singer and super wildboy guitarist. It's so good to see bands like this sticking together after all those years.
