Fairport Convention are an England|English electric folk band. Formed in April 1967, Fairport rapidly developed from playing cover versions of United States|American 'west coast' style music to an individual style which melded rock music with traditional England|English tunes and songs. The lineup of their most celebrated album, ''Liege & Lief'', comprised Sandy Denny, Ashley Hutchings, Dave Mattacks, Simon Nicol, Dave Swarbrick, and Richard Thompson (musician)|Richard Thompson.

Affected by numerous personnel changes throughout its first decade, Fairport Convention was temporarily disbanded in 1979 in music|1979 but played annual reunion concerts until they reformed in 1985 in music|1985. Since then, they have enjoyed stability and continue to tour and record regularly.

In part, the continuing success of Fairport Convention is due to the annual music festival the band organises. Cropredy Festival has been held every year since 1977 in music|1977 near Cropredy, a village five miles north of Banbury, Oxfordshire and attracts 20,000 fans. Now renamed Fairport's Cropredy Convention, it remains one of the key events in the UK folk festival calendar.
