Fairport Convention’s first album was a dud, but the second finally got some exposure. The group is on tour constantly, performing before sold out clubs nightly. Fairport Convention was discovered while putting on a show at at Anyplace, a local club. All the members quit their day jobs to focus on their music.
Fairport Convention's latest record is the group's first album since the band broke up eight years ago. The group has just completed their most current release, and they are planning the next release already. Fairport Convention intends to spend some time apart after the tour, allowing the band members to rest after a long year.
