Britain's What's On Event Guide
Fairport Convention 2026 Tour
Formed in 1967, Fairport launched the British folk-rock genre, and their album Liege & Lief was named BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards “Most Influential Folk Album of All Time.
The band features founding member Simon Nicol on guitar and vocals, Dave Pegg on bass guitar, Ric Sanders on violin, Chris Leslie on fiddle, mandolin and vocals. Fairport will be joined on stage by former member Dave Mattacks on Drums.
Fairport will be joined by the wonderful, award winning Jenn Butterworth as Special Guest on the tour. Jenn is an incredible guitarist and singer based in Scotland.
Winner: “Lifetime Achievement Award” BBC RADIO 2 FOLK AWARDS (2002)
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
