No, I am not going to wax lyrical about the performance of the various artistes. But they were bolody good! And the weather was magnificent! Something has occurred to me: Maybe, sometime in the future, children who were conceived at 'Fairport', may just be looking at this site/list, trying to gain information about the area. I hope our successors don't disappoint them. Bearing in mind, that even now the members of the band are "knocking on a bit", will the festival still be going when they finally hang up their guitars and fiddles? I suspect it will, albeit under a different name. It is too much of a commercial success, to ever stop the event altogether. They may not be the best, or most successful band in the world, but they are certainly prolific. A Two hour and?a Four hour set hardly touched their repertoire. Anyway, enough of that. If you have ever wondered why it is so popular, go - No matter what your age is! You will enjoy every minute of it. They even had an opera singer there this year!
