Fairport Convention, Pocklington Arts Centre, May 8

FAIRPORT Convention will welcome the return of long-serving member Dave Pegg on bass guitar when the veteran Oxfordshire folk-rock pioneers head out on tour in May and June.
Earlier in the year, his son Matt had to stand in when Pegg senior injured his left hand badly in a kitchen accident.
York Press: Fairport Convention"In January, I severed a tendon in the first finger while I was emptying the dishwasher,” says Dave, who will play Pocklington Arts Centre on May 8.
“The irony is I'd just spent two days chain-sawing firewood without incident. My hand was in a splint for six weeks so I couldn't play bass or mandolin on Fairport's winter tour.
“Luckily, Matt is a bass player too – like father, like son – and he was available to deputise for me. Now I'm raring to get back on the road and really looking forward to playing with the band again."

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
