Dave Mattacks on playing with Fairport Convention for Winter 2023 UK Tour

Following another successful Cropredy Convention in August, Fairport Convention have announced dates for their Winter 2023 UK Tour , with a very special guest appearing on the drummer’s stool. Dave Mattacks talks to Jason Barnard about picking up his drumsticks for Fairport next year.

Hi Dave, when was the last time you played with Fairport? 

I played with “FC” at Dave Pegg’s 75th birthday celebration concert just outside Birmingham in early November – that was a wonderful evening. I also played with them at Cropredy in ’22. The last few years as a guest at the band’s festival have been thoroughly enjoyable – and I was flattered to be asked to do their 2023 February – March UK tour.

What Fairport songs are the most challenging to play?

They’re all challenging in their own way. One aspect I’m particularly looking forward to on the forthcoming tour is playing the “new-to-me“ material – i.e; the songs & tunes that have accumulated in the band’s repertoire over the last twenty or so years.

You joined Fairport at a difficult time to record ‘Liege & Lief’. Given you were relatively new to the studio, did you feel any pressure?

I don’t recall feeling pressure, but I truly was the “deer-in-the-headlights“ from an aesthetic point of view. At that time, I had no knowledge of that musical arena – I just kept my head down and tried to do my best.

Did your drumming style evolve in those first years ?

Very much so. The band gently ‘educated’ me. They taught me to appreciate music in a different way that had more to do with a deeper appreciation of content and to be less impressed by ‘flash’.

When did you first start playing?

I started on piano aged 6, but switched to a kit when I was 14 or so. I made the mistake of thinking drums would be easier! My early ‘drum heroes’ included Tony Meehan, Kenny Clare, Buddy Rich and of course, Ringo Starr and Charlie Watts.

What are your recollections of recording XTC’s ‘Nonsuch’?

All very positive. It was a good team – the band, engineer Barry Hammond and producer Gus Dudgeon. Plus, you really can’t go wrong with songs as great as those – “Nonsuch“ is definitely a “career highlight“.

What is it like collaborating with Richard Thompson – was ‘Mock Tudor’ a highpoint?

It’s always a joy to work with Richard. Yes, ‘Mock Tudor’ is a favourite – but all his albums are outstanding in my humble opinion.

You have played more blues music since moving to Massachusetts – can you tell me more about that?

It’s not so much “playing more blues ” – more a case of getting the opportunity to be subjected and exposed to different styles of music on a more intense level. And that wasn’t really happening for me in the UK. In parallel, I felt I needed to get more ‘grease’ and looseness into my playing – it seemed too stiff to me back then. I’m still working on it.

Which of the five Paul McCartney albums that you have featured on is your highlight?

All five are special to me. Certainly, getting to record in Montserrat at George Martin’s studio was a highlight. Those tracks ended up on ‘Pipes of Peace’ & ’Tug of War’. The Abbey Road (studio two) sessions for ‘Run Devil Run’ were cool too.

What are the current projects that you’re involved in?

Basically, I’m playing a lot of ‘live’ dates of all shapes and sizes with different people here in New England and beyond. I’m recording with songwriter / singers / artists in different studios. I produce (I should mention I’m particularly pleased about my collaboration with Debra Cowan). I do drum clinics – and have a few students. I’m also a member of “Feast of Fiddles” – that band tours the UK every spring. Apart from that see also davemattacks.com

3 thoughts on “ Dave Mattacks on playing with Fairport Convention for Winter 2023 UK Tour ”

I always loved Dave’s work. Absolutely beautiful. Very heavy and powerful and endlessly surprising and inventive. Sadly, I’ve never seen him live. I also never knew he has been living in Mass. for awhile where I live and in lieu of that I would appreciate it if someone could help me find out about any gigs in New England he’ll be playing sometime. Thank You.

My email is [email protected] . thank you. Gary Morneault

Dave Chappelle announces 2 Atlantic City shows. Get tickets today

The always unpredictable Dave Chappelle is at it again.

Following a nationwide 2023 tour celebrating his 50th birthday, the “Chappelle’s Show” star is returning to the stage for a pair of gigs at Atlantic City, NJ’s Etess Arena at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on Friday, June 28.

According to the venue, show one starts at 7 p.m. Later that evening, Chappelle will return to the stage for an encore 10 p.m. set .

This stand-up doubleheader comes on the heels of the comic’s controversial 2023 Netflix special “The Dreamer” where he took it upon himself to tackle sensitive subjects including transgenderism and disabled people.

And while we don’t know what the politically incorrect will take to the stage in Atlantic City, the only way to find out is live.

At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets was $188 before fees on Vivid Seats.

For more information on Chappelle’s short Atlantic City stint, we’ve got everything you need to know and more below.

All prices listed above are subject to fluctuation.

A complete breakdown of all the best prices on tickets at the Etess Arena at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino shows can be found here:

(Note: The New York Post confirmed all above prices at the publication time. All prices are in US dollars, subject to fluctuation and include additional fees at checkout .)

Vivid Seats is a verified secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand. 

They offer a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and your tickets will be delivered prior to the event.

Over the course of his career, Chappelle has released 13 stand-up specials.

Here’s how you can find all of them:

Killin’ Them Softly (2000) is streaming on HBO

For What It’s Worth (2004) can be purchased on Amazon

The Age of Spin (2017) is streaming on Netflix

Deep in the Heart of Texas (2017) is streaming on Netflix

Equanimity (2017) is streaming on Netflix

The Bird Revelation (2017) is streaming on Netflix

Sticks & Stones (2019) is streaming on Netflix

8:46 (2020) is streaming on YouTube

Unforgiven (2020) is streaming on YouTube

Redemption Song (2021) is streaming on YouTube

The Closer (2021) is streaming on Netflix

What’s in a Name? (2022) is streaming on Netflix

The Dreamer (2023) is streaming on Netflix

You can also see Chappelle win the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. here .

Over the past few years, Chappelle made waves for his insensitive material about the transgender community in his Netflix specials “Sticks and Stones” and “The Closer.”

Rather than apologize for his remarks, he doubled down and defended his point of view.

Many big names have spoken out about his baseless attacks.

“Dave Chappelle making jokes about trans people directly leads to violence, whether it’s verbal or otherwise, against trans people,” said US soccer star Megan Rapinoe in an interview with  Time Magazine .

Fellow comic Wanda Sykes shared with  Variety  that Chappelle’s material was “so hurtful and damaging to the trans community.”

That didn’t stop Chappelle from going after other marginalized groups.

In November 2022, Chappelle was asked to host NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” On the program, he made several anti-Semitic jokes in his 20-minute monologue.

At the time of publication, Chappelle has not issued a sincere apology to either community. His inflammatory material also caused Netflix employees to walk out in protest.

“We value our trans colleagues and allies, and understand the deep hurt that’s been caused,” a Netflix spokesperson said at the time. “We respect the decision of any employee who chooses to walk out, and recognize we have much more work to do both within Netflix and in our content.”

Many of comedy’s heaviest hitters are bringing the funny to venues big and small all over the U.S. this year.

Here are just five of our favorites you absolutely won’t want to miss live.

•  Martin Lawrence

•  Marlon Wayans

•  D.L. Hughley

Should the UK tax Taylor Swift’s Eras tour to save its grassroots venues?

• Search Search

A U.K. charity supporting small music venues wants a levy placed on major tours. But would a tax on tours solve the live music sector’s issues? A Northeastern expert is not so sure.

• Copy Link Link Copied!

LONDON — Taylor Swift will return to the U.K. with aplomb on June 7 as she kicks off three consecutive nights of the Eras tour at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium, playing to a crowd of almost 73,000 screaming fans each night.

Those kinds of attendance numbers will be a long way from her first performance at age 14 at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee, a venue that has a seating capacity of only 90.

The issue for the U.K. is that its equivalent Bluebird venues are struggling to keep the wolves at bay. Moles, a 220-capacity venue in Bath, a city in southwest England, shut its doors in December after almost 50 years, having played a hand in the careers of artists including Ed Sheeran, Oasis and Radiohead. Other night spots are in a fight for their survival .

The Music Venues Trust (MVT), a U.K. charity that acts to protect grassroots music venues, stated in its annual report that over the course of 2023, it registered the loss of 125 such venues.

At the same time, the construction of arena-sized venues is booming — Co-op Live recently opened in Manchester after a number of setbacks to become the U.K.’s biggest indoor arena, while mega venues are planned for such cities as Edinburgh and Dundee in Scotland, Cardiff in Wales, and Bristol and Sunderland in England.

MVT, backed financially by the likes of Coca-Cola and Ticketmaster, has a proposal to reverse the decline in grassroots establishments. The organization is lobbying the U.K. government for a compulsory £1 ($1.27) levy to be applied on tickets sold for live music events above 5,000-seating capacity.

Mark Davyd, MVT’s chief executive, says that without such financial support, the music industry is facing a “catastrophic failure of artist development.” France has already acted, he points out, with all major live music events required to pay 3.5% of each ticket sale into a fund to support grassroots artists and venues.

Swift is expected to play to 1.1 million people across her summer shows in the U.K., with other Eras concerts taking place in London, Liverpool and Cardiff between June and August. If MVT’s suggested levy was paid on each ticket, it would produce almost $1.4 million to support smaller British venues and their mission to propel The Next Big Thing to stardom.

But not everyone is convinced the levy concept would yield results. David Herlihy , a copyright lawyer and music industry teaching professor at Northeastern University, says the proposal harks back to a “bygone ecosystem” of live music concerts that was disrupted first by social media and then further by the coronavirus pandemic.

“Before social media, music was a congregating magnet. It was all tied to a physical space,” says Herlihy, who fronted the 1980s-era Boston-based indie rock band O Positive.

“Before the internet, before digital media, everybody from Hank Williams, to Elvis Presley, to The Beatles, to The Eagles, to Nirvana, to Taylor Swift, they all traveled the same path. 

“They all wrote songs and rehearsed a lot. They got shows around town, they had enough of a following so that the place could make profit selling alcohol. The business model was alcohol and people in the room, and it worked really well for a long period of time. You had these critical, small places that were breeding grounds for all the little not-yets to become somebody.”

But social media has become a disruptor to that bottom-up model, he argues.

“Now you have TikTok, you have social media … and if enough people watch, then that gets pushed to the foreground and then a lot of people share them, and all of a sudden you have a big following,” he adds.

Herlihy says he “loves this idea of saving venues” from MVT but that it “seems like they are tilting at windmills,” with bigger issues at play, including whether people are still drawn to the idea of club shows in a post-COVID world.

“Are people going to go to the clubs when there is so much else to do?” he questions. “Then you also combine that with the cost of real estate. I think COVID dealt a real body blow to places that were already struggling in the social media era.”

He says any levy would ultimately likely end up being “passed on to the consumer,” meaning higher ticket prices for those attending mega tours like Swift’s or Elton John’s five-year $939 million-grossing Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.

“At the end of the day, it is not going to be the promoters or the artists saying, ‘OK take my money,’” says Herlihy. “They are just going to tack that on and the consumer is going to pay more.”

Marianna Koli , director of social sciences at Northeastern in London, says there are economic theories to back up why music lovers gravitate toward bigger acts, in a move that leads to largescale arena tours coming to dominate the market.

“Consumers tend to be keener to spend money on enjoying the work of ‘known’ artists because it involves less risk than supporting newer ones,” says the associate professor in economics.

“And secondly, there is enjoyment in being part of a larger collective. So when people make spending decisions, there is a tendency to favor artists that others know and like, and so there is a snowball effect toward a smaller number of artists.

“The latter point addresses why this Eras tour is so popular and why people are willing to spend so much to be a part of it. You’re not just consuming music, you’re living through and participating in a cultural phenomenon.”

And that phenomenon is being felt in the pockets of attendees, with Britain’s Swifties shelling out heavily in their quest to see their pop idol live. A report by Barclays on the impact of “Swiftonomics” estimates that spending in the U.K. economy will be boosted by almost £1 billion ($1.27 billion) as a result of the Eras tour.

Koli puts that figure into context. She says the economic effect of the 34-year-old pop star’s appearances is estimated to be more than double the £400 million ($509 million) the royal family will bring into the country over the course of the two-and-a-half months that she is in town. But it is likely to be £4 billion ($5.1 billion) shy of the added value amateur sport and exercise usually creates over the same period.

Barclays’ analysts calculate that the average Swiftie will spend £848 ($1,080) on their tour experience, once the costs of travel, accommodation, food, drink and tour merchandise are accounted for. Koli says it was not hard to see how that kind of spending and its subsequent economic reverberations come into play with a tour of this size.

“Between all the Eras tour venues and dates in the U.K., there are something like 1.2 million tickets available, with an average ticket price of £150-£200 ($190-250),” she says. “Large numbers multiplied by large numbers will quickly lead to very large numbers.”

With Britain only just emerging from a cost-of-living crisis that was fuelled by high inflation, for some, that kind of spending will lead to cutbacks and sacrifices in other parts of their lives, Koli speculates, with the tour experience possibly prioritized over something like a vacation.

When Swift steps on the Edinburgh stage, it will be the first time she has headlined a show in Scotland for nearly 10 years and will mark her first U.K. return in six. It is that rarity factor, Koli says, that can lead to fans deciding to throw caution to the wind when it comes to splashing out on an Eras show.

Koli says: “In order to motivate that spend, the tour has to be a fairly unique event and probably limited in availability — it might be difficult to keep up the consumer interest in ‘the Taylor Swift experience’ if similar events happened too often.”
