It would be amazing for Steeleye Span to come along with their original line-up and maybe even Martin Carthy! Fairport supported by Steeleye Span would be my idea of heaven!!

Why start on 2007 when we are still suggesting artists for 2006? ??? ???

It's highly unlikely that anyone picked for 2006 would also appear in 2007 - so that ought to cut down the number of suggestions.

Slightly pointless thread, unless I'm missing the point? ???

Maybe Jude ????? (please)

Get you...

I'm NOT going to Cropredy 2006 but I will be there in 2007 for the 40th Anniversary, so it's of intertest to me. Plenty of other places where peoople have already and will over the next ten months predict 2006 line ups...

So a tiniest dash of irony... but - as you so pompously say - pointless! NOT TO ME IT AIN'T SUGAR!

Odd that - I'm sure I saw you voting for Eighteenth Day of May in the 2006 suggestion thread.....and that's your band ain't it? Now if you aren't going.... ???

Hmmm - Lives in New Zealand....are they touring the UK in 2007?

Well if it's 2007 then every living former and current Fairport member will do me, one set a night  :D

And every spin off act too  ;D

Good point, Keith. Probably the last major anniversary that this line-up (and the past members) will want to play a 3-hour plus gig....

Let's have Ashley back doing the 'History of' again - it's a full 10 years since he last did it, and there'll be many that haven't heard it. It can be updated too.

Very sad but probably true  :'(

Wish I had started coming to Cropredy earlier - what a silly, silly boy  :-[

Cropredy 2007??????? Isn't there going to be one in 2006 then??? or am I missing something here?????  ??? ???

It's all right JJ, it's just people getting excited because 2007 will be 40 years since ole Fpt found their feet

2006 is still on according to the fpt website

Jude  :-*

Now now children, rattles back in the pram  [;-)

Cheers Nigel

i think Peggy has enough on his hands trying to organise 2006,without worrying  about 2007 for a long time yet

The wonderful Whippersnapper....

AmyJen

Just to clear up something Chris seemed to imply earlier....The Eighteenth Day of May is "my" band and has nothing to do with Mister O'Diamonds ;)
(but if you're reading this Jack, we've a gig on the 22nd and you're welcome to roadie for us.... ;) ;)).

For the record, I kinda think Cropredy 2007 IS worth getting excited about - but the idea that it may be the last chance for the full supporting cast of ex- and present  Fairports to reunite for a full set is a bit of a sobering thought. So.....I'd hope for a triumphant return of the Swarb  in 2006 and the whole gang (Ian Matthews, Jude, RT, Ashley Hutchings, DM, Jerry Donahue etc etc) in 2007....

.....But PLEASE, no return for The Hamsters :-[. If we're gonna have a pub rock band howzabout the mighty GPs?

Of course Amy, the more the merrier!

Aren't they already ?

Tanglefoot please (yes, I voted them for 06 too, but they really are good!)

SONGS FROM THE BLUE HOUSE!!!!

Ditto!!!!!!   With bells on!!!!

Mic

Morris dancing Songs from the Blue House then???

AmyJen ;D ;)

I reckon they'd do well (you should have seen James' leap at the Album Launch...worthy of any Morrisman ;D ;D) and I reckon our Skirky could shake a mean bell :o

Mic

It's Banjo Barnes you want for that sort of malarkey. No, really. Rings on his fingers and bells on his toes and everything.....

Yes indeedy...splendid band

A very much missed and splendid band.. still playing their music often...

50% Fairport too...

AmyJen

Boo Hewerdine

dr feelgood,,hank williams 111,aussie pink floyd show, the yardbirds, dick gaughan(for all you old folkies) the del mccoury band and mary chapin carpenter
them plus a bit of filler and a proper 97 style fairport reunion,well even i would have to consider attending!!!

I thought Whippersnapper were a three-piece, weren't they? ??? :o ;D

Originally Swarb's band.. with Chris L, Kevin D and Martin Jenkins...  til about 1990 (?) when Swarb left and they continued as a trio until the end of 1994.

The fourpiece produced three studio albums..  Promises, Tsubo and Fortune; whilst the trio produced one, Stories... all wonderful!!!

AmyJen 8)

Planxty and Ani Di iFranco..her arm should be better by then and Bruce Cockburn.

Oh yes please Ani de Franco ;D ;D

CUYUGA  ;) :-*

god loves a trier

Hey! At least this band have already supported Fairport.....

There are one or two other bands being pushed oon here that haven't even got that far....

Not only that, but on CUYUGA's website, FC are top of the list of bands mentioned that they have supported.

Embarrassed to admit I hadn't heard of them but will correct that deficiency with a CD purchase :)

Don't be embarrassed, nobody's heard of us. ;) As far as a cd purchase is concerned, well sorry, you might have to wait for that one. We plan on going into the studio in Oct. or Nov. for a new cd. We have done stuff in the past but with lineup changes & that, we have a very different sound now compared to back then. Now that our line-up has been the same for a couple years & have plenty of new songs written we'll have another go at recording.
As far as Cropredy, definitely would be a dream come true, not only to go, but to play and be in ENGLAND? Too much for words.
Marcus   ;D :o

So at least one of the criteria for getting on the bill is "having already supported Fairport"??? That should inspire a thoroughly innovative approach to the whole show!

Vibrant little thread despite its crass irrelevance... he he he

Suggest you send your CD to Peggy when it comes out and get a UK tour organised. Post on here as well so we can all buy it. Good luck.

Malcolm

Not quite - but the band do need to have seen you 'in action', and that's definitely one way of getting their attention!

My Dream list for a cropredy festival would include,

Fairport
Steeleye Span
Jethro Tull
Pentangle
Tannerhill Weavers
Martin Carthy
Ashley Huchings , Albion Band, original line ups
Led Zep

There again it would be real nice to have the likes of

Deep Purple
Black Sabbath
Iron Maiden
Uriah Heep

It'd certainly keep the crowds down, nice and easy access to the bar, no queues at the pastie stand - good call.... ;)

Something tells me the Bar would need to encompace the whole length of one side of the field, me thinks.

I'magine Fairport Headlining that lot 8)

Imagine the number of guest solos on 'Sloth'..... :o Well, that's saturday taken care of.... ;)

I'd love to hear Tony Iommi do his solo in that.... wow.

Infact It would be nice just to have Tony play with fairport full stop  ;D

nice for you maybe
any more hamfisted fretmanglers youd like to inflict on the cropredy going public ?

all meant in a caring and sharing way :P

You'd probably prefer the Spinners would you :P ::)....

"Excuse me wheile I remove the bad taste in my mouth with a drink of water.

the detroit spinners maybe
swallowed something nasty?

It was the thought of False folk music from the likes of the Spinners...lol

Actually the Detroit spinners are not such a bad idea.

You've not by any chance heard the New Quo album, its hardly a quo record, more folkie than Boogie woogie, if you ask me...

Perhaps someone ought to ask the Quo along to Cropredy.

quo would do it like a shot
but beware they are still doing the same set they did in 1972 none of this "new " stuff

Just been listening to a recent live Quo set from Swedish radio & it's not bad.

Go to:

http://www.sr.se/cgi-bin/p4/programsidor/index.asp?ProgramID=488

and click on "Lyssna till senaste P4 Live" on the left.

Reckon they'd do a decent job of Thurs or Friday night.

Seeing them, indoors, early November. Will report back.

Come on, guys... doing the "oild stuff" never hurt the Copper Family!

Hey, i like my Quo "vintage" none of your "margherita time" for me please
  gimme roadhouse blues and paper plane

Absolutely ;D

The 1972 set would make me very happy, though Heavy Traffic was a reamergence of how good they could be. The new album is growing on me too.

But that's by the by.

Margarita was certainly the slippery slope & was only recovered from in 2002 with Heavy Traffic, as I've already mentioned.
