Events

This year, Fairport passes another milestone - the band's annual outdoor music festival at Cropredy has been running continuously for thirty years. Last year's event was more successful than ever and attracted the first festival appearance by Cat Stevens (now known as Yusuf) for 37 years.

The London concert will present a carefully-chosen repertoire of songs and instrumentals from Fairport's vast back catalogue ensuring The Union Chapel show will be as fresh as the band's earliest performances.

The Union Chapel concert will open with a set from Fairport's guests Keith Donnelly and Flossie Malavialle. Keith, a long-standing friend of Fairport and a veteran of Cropredy, is a talented singer, guitarist and songwriter. He is also renowned for his banter - as Jasper Carrott says, Keith could make a sheep laugh. French singer-songwriter Flossie Malavialle is well-known on the British folk scene, not least for her recent performances with Show of Hands.
