Title: Most recent Cropredy appearances for "old boys"
Post by: Jules Gray on October 25, 2006, 12:36:27 PM
Hi all

Can anyone tell me, just out of interest, when the following ex-Fairports last appeared with the "mothership" at Cropredy.....?

Swarb - did he join the band on stage this year?

D.M. - when did he last sit in?

What about Ashley?

And Jerry, does he still make occasional appearances?

And, lastly, what about Bruce - has it been a while since he was there?

Cheers,

Jules

Swarb was there this year but did not sit in with the band. Ditto DM who has not played with FC since the split, and ditto RT who seems to play Cropers a lot less then he used to.
Ashley was there this year as well, but can't remember if he played (too much beer!).

Its been a while since Jerry showed up - 35th aniversary?

Please be aware that I was wearing a bigger-then-normal pair of beer goggles this year, so the above may be of variable quality.

Mostly correct Sir Martin

Don't think the Guvn'r played, except with the Rainbow Chasers
Ditto DM
Swarb gigged with Lazarus but not FC
RT was "in attendance" but didn't play

Ashley played with FC in 2004, as did RT and Mr Lacey as well. Not sure if they were all on stage at the same time apart from "Meat & Two Veg", tho'.

[later on] I think actually they were all on stage for "Mr Lacey".

the Musikfolk archive of Cropredy festivals lists all artists that played with FC each year.

Hiya,

It was Jerry D that played with FC in 2004 as well Ashley Hutchings and Mr Lacey (I think Tull had more ex-members and guests in attendence that year!)

I think RT played the following year in 2005
