Visions of Liege & Lief – A Tribute to Fairport Convention

After dazzling audiences with their sold-out shows of Carole King’s Tapestry and a raucous tribute to Neil Young’s After the Gold Rush last June, Visions of Albion return to the Music Room for a third time – this time celebrating another album whose influence is heard and felt far and wide.

Visions of Albion are harking back to their roots with a tribute to an album as iconic as it was groundbreaking: Fairport Convention’s 1969 magnum opus Liege & Lief. Widely regarded as the record that introduced the world to Britain’s emerging electric-folk movement, Liege & Lief endures as a milestone that challenged and changed the very boundaries of what was possible in popular music.

Alongside the pioneering guitar work of Richard Thompson and the band’s inventive reworkings of traditional British folk songs, Liege & Lief is also remembered for the spellbinding voice of Sandy Denny, whose timeless performances helped define the sound of an entire era.

Visions of Albion will be joined by a full live band, bringing to life the passion, power, and poetry of this landmark album an enduring celebration of tradition, reinvention, and the spirit of folk music itself.
