Myths and Heroes is the 27th studio album by the electric folk band Fairport Convention, released in January 2015.

Recording and release

Recording for the album began in March 2014 and concluded in November. During their winter tour at the beginning of the year, the band played some of the material destined for the album as a taster for their live audience. The album became available for pre-order on the Fairport Convention website starting on 1 January 2015 (and was also available at all shows on the band's subsequent tour) and was released officially in March, along with limited edition Vinyl copies of the album.[1]
