Gates open at 7.00pm
Folk legends Fairport Convention have been entertaining music lovers for over half a century.
The band will present a mix of long-established Fairport favourites and some surprises from albums old and new including their latest album, Shuffle & Go.
Fairport Convention have won a BBC Lifetime Achievement Award and Radio 2 listeners voted their ground-breaking album Liege & Lief 'The Most Influential Folk Album of All Time'. Their story has been celebrated with television documentaries on BBC Four and Sky Arts.
The band features founding member Simon Nicol on guitar and vocals, Dave Pegg on bass guitar, Ric Sanders on violin, Chris Leslie on bouzouki, mandolin, banjo, fiddle, and vocals.
What they said
“Stuffing their set with a surprising amount of new material for a vintage act, Fairport are still clearly having fun and brought the house down.” The Guardian
“Fairport is an institution, a festival, purveyors of memories, and keepers of the folk flame. But most of all they are a brilliant live band.” Folk & Tumble
Seth Lakeman
Devon born singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Seth Lakeman has burst back onto the music scene with a busy run of UK and European solo shows – including Hampton Pool.
Seth is very much a contemporary folk legend who has a very distinct style and we’re looking forward to an explosive performance from him and his band.
Seth was part of the Sea Song Sessions album –a collection of British maritime folk songs and sea shanties released in September 2022 on Topic Records. Performed by Jon Boden, Seth, Ben Nicholls, Emily Portman and Jack Rutter, they celebrated the album’s release by sailing into Looe Harbour on the Anny of Charlestown to perform on the Quay. Seth and others then sailed on to perform in Charlestown Harbour and Falmouth.
