Title: The Cropredy Cup
Post by: GubGub (Al) on July 09, 2011, 10:56:32 PM

OK, there seems to be a bit of support for this so we’ll see how it goes. If there are not many votes we may have to give up but let’s give it a shot.

This is a friendly exhibition tournament with teams selected by invitation so we have four groups for the first round.

The first group is comprised of the 2nd, 3rd & 4th place teams from last year’s FC & RT tournaments accompanied by the recently formed “youth team” from each camp.

The second group are officially released live albums by FC & RT

The other two groups are made up of Thursday & Friday Cropredy headliners (loosely speaking) from over the years.

The four winners from each group will progress to the next round for which fixtures will be drawn entirely randomly out of a hat.

Group A:

Fairport Convention vs Shoot Out The Lights
Hand Of Kindness vs Nine
Festival Bell vs Henry The Human Fly
Dream Attic vs Full House

Group B:

House Full vs Live November 1975
RT Live At The BBC vs Live Convention (A Moveable Feast)
FC Live At The BBC vs Small Town Romance
Live At Austin TX vs Off The Desk

Group C

Saturday Rolling Around (The GPs) vs Solid Air (John Martyn)
The Original Soundtrack (10cc) vs Levelling The Land (The Levellers)
Kitty Jay (Seth Lakeman) vs Fog On The Tyne (Lindisfarne)
The Dylan Project vs Aqualung (Jethro Tull)

Group D

Wicked Men (Edward II) vs Matachin (Bellowhead)
If This Is Rock n Roll I Want My Old Job Back (Saw Doctors) vs Meet You There (Oysterband)
A Salty Dog (Procol Harum) vs Alright Jack (Home Service)
Rise Up Like The Sun (The Albion Band) vs Mighty Rearranger (Robert Plant)

Bit of a busy week in prospect this week so this opening round will have to run until I have time to tally it which may not be until Wednesday or Thursday.

Have fun.

I'm gutted about that one - doesn't anyone else think that 1) Live November 1975 is one of the finest live albums of all time? or 2) that House Full disappoints due to having too many instrumentals and not enough songs?

Anyhoo....next round:

Shoot Out The Lights vs Full House 6 - 18
Meet You There vs Solid Air 7 - 17

Alright Jack vs FC Live At The BBC
Solid Air vs Full House

The whistle has blown on this absorbing round of quarter finals with the results being declared as follows:

Alright Jack vs FC Live at the BBC 16 - 11 The part timers continue to dominate heavy hitters as they progress.
Solid Air vs Full House 4 - 23 Much fancied newcomer completely overwhelmed by a side highly experienced at this level of competition
Rise Up Like The Sun vs Nine 21 - 6 The presence of Mattacks on both sides can do little to stop the determination of players keen to get one over on their former team.
Henry The Human Fly vs Aqualung 16 - 11 A hard fought contest this with the mighty Tull capitulating towards the end like a bunch of American girls! :)

And so to the semis:

Alright Jack vs Full House
Rise Up Like The Sun vs Henry The Human Fly

Four sides with interchangeable elements. Interesting. Whistle blows Thursday evening.

Commanding wins there for Rise Up & Full House.

Apologies for the lack of tally here. I didn't write it down, forgot it immediately and can't be bothered to count it all again. :-[

Anyway the, perhaps slightly predictable final is:

Rise Up Like The Sun vs Full House

Last year's FC Cup finalists take on some familiar looking opponents. Think it might be close one.

That's kind of what I tried to do by excluding last year's winners and bringing in guest artists and yet...

I do have an idea though to bring in some very heavy hitters for the next tournament and stir things up a bit.

Meanwhile my vote goes to Rise Up Like The Sun. Fairport brought me into this music and Full House is my favourite of their records but Rise Up for me is the pinnacle of the folk rock genre, outstripping even Liege & Lief, a towering achievement. Sloth is of course mighty fine but always better in live recordings and for me The Gresford Disaster is its equal and a track that makes my jaw drop on every listen.

Full House is an excellent album, but Rise Up Like the Sun, at points, makes me grin from ear to ear in a way FH just doesn't. It's a monster of an album that should be in everyone's record collection.

I was with you until 'outstripping Liege and Lief'. I Loved Rise Up, i was seeing a lot of Ashley and Tams in stuff at the National Theatre at the time but trite as it may be, L and L was a seminal album which took me in to different musical genres.

Without meaning to go further off topic, L&L wasn't that great an album IMO. Influenial, yes, but compare it with both RULTS and Full House (or No Roses, or many, many other albums), then it's not that great. L&L IMO was very much testing the water, and much better things followed it.

It's ok, I didn't bother taking my coat off.

Ollie i agree with you and i will probably now sound like an old f**t.[if the cap fits......] Yes Lo L was testing the water but there really had been nothing English like it before.(you could argue the Byrds and the Band were already going down an electric folk route in the states) I was 17ish when it first came out and i heard it, I was already going to folk clubs but they were still a bit reverential and still part of the 'purist' folk revival.] Land L was like putting your finger in the mains and it led me to Nick Drake, John Martyn, Tir na Nog,Keith Christmas,Christy Moore, Fotheringay, Steeleye, Gryphon ,Pentangle Zeppelin ,Tull,Horslips. Planxty etc etc..
No it probably isn;t their best album musically, you are a musician, I'm a drummer and seriously I cannot be that objective, but as a landmark album and a period of my youth I remember vividly for the excitement of discovering new music, it cannot be topped.

I'm sort of with Ollie on this. L&L is definitely the more important album and influential album. It was groundbreaking and the recent remaster has really brought it to life for me. It is rightly lauded as being the original. Rise Up cannot make any claims to that level of innovation. English folk rock was well established and perhaps even fading by the time it appeared but as a listen, as Ollie says, for me it takes the L&L template and improves upon it That is quite something.

Disregarding memories, opinions and historical contexts (or at least trying to!) and listening as objectively as I can to the originally-released versions of both albums purely as (coherent) collections of pieces of music, then I'd say... Full House, by a whisker.

I then listened to the extended, remastered CD versions, and this time Rise Up just shaded it.

So I tossed a coin, and... Rise Up Like The Sun won!
