Fairport Convention to stop-off in Dublin
Never mind new folk, the Mk. 1 version gets a run out when Fairport Convention perform at Whelan’s.
The current incarnation of the ‘60s survivors features original member Simon Nicol, Dave Pegg, Ric Sanders, Chris Leslie and Gerry Conway.
Also newly confirmed in the Wexford Street venue on February 2 are Crystal Antlers, the Long Beach outfit who pay additional visits to the Pavilion Bar, Belfast (December 31) and the Roisin Dubh, Galway (February 1).
Signed to Chicago’s Touch & Go imprint, their self-titled EP is a thing of Hammond-driven psychedelic rock beauty.
Fairport Convention will perform at Whelan's on May 14.
Tickets are going for €20 and are now available from tickets.ie.
