Fairport Convention was a much simpler setup compared to Pete & Diesel earlier in the month. The band arrived a bit later in the day, and the full setup,  including sound checks, took roughly an hour. It was a four-piece group with four microphones: two guitarists, one fiddle player, and another member who played multiple instruments.

Their sound engineer arrived ahead of the band, which made the evening run extremely smoothly. He was able to set up the desk and position all the cables and equipment exactly as needed, giving us plenty of time to double-check everything and make sure the venue was show-ready.

From a lighting perspective, I operated during the second half of the performance. The design was intentionally simple, mainly adjusting wash colours and adding blinders for applause moments. The band preferred to keep things relaxed and understated, which suited the atmosphere of the gig perfectly.
