FOLK rock veterans Fairport Convention will return to a coastal resort to perform following a sell-out show earlier this year.

The group recently celebrated 50 years of performances with the release of 50:50@50, which featured new material.

The group has announced a show the Pavilion Theatre in Whitby on February 9.

Founding member Simon Nicol said: “As someone whose hobby ultimately became a career, I'm happy every time the van pulls up outside my house to take me off on my travels, where the stage awaits, and I get a chance to make everyone happy that they made the choice to buy a ticket.”
