Ashley Hutchings

Ashley Hutchings, the man who helped to write the British folk-rock playbook, hits 80, and instead of slowing down, he’s throwing a bash. The Million Dollar Bash, no less, at Birmingham Town Hall, pulling together a dream team of Fairport alumni, Albion veterans, and folk royalty. Enter Blair Dunlop, his son and a formidable talent in his own right, orchestrating events. In this podcast, we hit the big milestones, Fairport Convention’s folk-rock awakening, Liege & Lief, Steeleye Span, The Albion Band, Gloucester Docks, and Dylan calling him “Million Dollar Ash.”
