The other convention

[altariel]

Crusty night in the Unreal City this evening, with the seemingly imperishable Fairport Convention at the Corn Exchange. They were on tip-top form - Simon Nicol appeared to be actually enjoying being in a band. In fact, they all looked like they were having a great time: Rik Sanders and Chris Leslie kept on grinning at each other like this was the first time they'd played together, it was very sweet.

Fairport support acts are always great - long-time readers of this journal may remember the legendary mandobass - anyway, the support tonight were Tiny Tin Lady, an all-female four-piece who are so young that their combined ages probably tot up to roughly the age of a single member of Fairport. (No, it's not quite that bad, but the youngest member - vocalist and guitarist, and one of the song-writers - is 15 years old.) You can hear what they sound like here. Their vocal harmonies were brilliant and they had a really good live sound. Go them!
