Folk-rock band Fairport Convention are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year and in an exclusive interview with the band’s founding member Simon Nicol, Mandy Morton traces their history, fraught with comings and goings, a fatal motorway crash and a dogged determination to survive five decades of the British music industry.

Cambridge Radio is the Community broadcaster for Cambridge and South Cambs.

Our brief is to give a voice to those sometimes excluded from traditional media. And the presenters you hear on air are all volunteers themselves who give up their time for free. We do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who listens to our shows, our podcasts, the businesses we feature, helps to pay for it, our future would be much more secure.

You can support Cambridge Radio by giving monthly or by making a one-off contribution.
