Shocked, amazed, vaguely dismayed, & oddly affirmed that so many folks who end up seeing my dumb little posts on the internet also seem to care so deeply for Fairport Convention. Wish I’d known y’all when I was 17, but better now than never ✨

@jen_powers43 A few years ago, I did a tour with Iain Matthews as his drummer - and one night, we shared the bill with Richard Thompson - the backstage talk between them was entertaining and informative
@PatThomas1964 I met Richard at my hometown’s Irish Fest. I paid $13 to see him play a solo acoustic set. He was so kind as I tearfully told him how Fairport changed my life, & when I asked how he got to headline an Irish fest, & he said the money was too good to refuse, & we had a good laugh
