I am no musician, simply a music lover. In these pages I intend to talk about the musioc and musicians that I enjoy and the gigs and festivals I attend. I have also been fortunate to make many friends through music. A significant number of these have been through my fondness for Fairport Convention and three resources created by fans of theirs, the Talkawhile Forum, the Fairporters Facebook group and the Fairport Mailing List.
