Two prinicple and influential figures in the British folk-roots scene, who've seen action in Fairport Convention, Jethro Tull and more join forces this summer

Dave Pegg from Fairport Convention/Dylan Project & fellow Dylan Project band member PJ Wright undertake a UK tour this summer called "A Night Off With Peggy & PJ".

I hope the title explains our approach," says PJ. "There will be a mix of my songs from Hedge of Sound, some Little Johnny England material, some of Peggy's songs and tunes from various sources, and a smattering of Sandy Denny and Fairport. We might even throw in a bit of Jethro Tull. Alongside this original material, we hope to play some cover versions of our favourite songs down the years."

The acoustic instrumentation will include guitars, bazouki, mandolin, dobro, harmonica, bass – but PJ promises not to play banjo, fiddle or sax. "Add Peggy's skills as a raconteur and one or two of my duff jokes and it should be an idiosyncratic, rocking evening of virtuoso fun for nearly all the family," says PJ.

The Tull band :Living With The Past" makes their yearly appearance in Western NY and promises to deliver one of their best Tull setlists ever. Material from albums like Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung, Living In The Past, Thick As A Brick, The Passion Play, Songs From The Wood, "A", Broadsword and the Beast, Bursting Out, and Crest of a Knave. The show will not dissapoint the faithful Tullians. Dave promises to sit in for a few as well.
