Fairport Convention - 5050@50 Description album
50:50@50 is the 28th studio album by the electric folk band Fairport Convention, released in January 2017 to mark the band's 50th Anniversary. Half of the album was recorded in the studio, and the other half is a selection of songs recorded from live performances.
The album features six new tracks that were recorded at Woodworm Studios in Oxfordshire in November 2016, and a re-working of Danny Jack's Reward (originally from the Festival Bell album) that features members of Joe Broughton's Conservatoire Folk Ensemble, which was recorded in Sound By Design's Delta Studio and The Bowman's Retreat studio in Oxfordshire. The live tracks were recorded between 2014 and 2016 at different concerts including the band's warm-up concerts for their Cropredy Festival at the Mill Arts Centre in Banbury. The album became available to buy from the band's website in January 2017, and was also available at all concerts on the band's 2017 wintour. The album will be available everywhere else from 10 March.
