LEGENDARY folk rockers Fairport Convention will perform at Sale’s Waterside on Saturday May 9.
The concert will feature songs from Fairport’s new album Myths and Heroes. Released earlier this year, it is the first Fairport Convention studio album for four years.
“We’re really looking forward to visiting The Waterside again,” says Simon Nicol who co-founded the band in 1967, “especially as on this tour we’ve got a whole album’s worth of new material to introduce to our audience. Our first love is still performing live and it will also be good to play smaller venues again. These spring shows will have a lighter more intimate feel than the more muscular style of our winter tours.”
The band was formed in 1967's 'summer of love' and been hailed as the originators of British folk-rock music
