Title: When was John Barleycorn last played? Post by: Dubai Danny on August 16, 2016, 12:57:57 AM I've never seen FC play John Barleycorn, not even at the four Cropredys I've been to (2002-04 and 07). I'd previously been led to believe that it was something of a Cropredy staple.
Anybody know when it last got an outing, complete with the note-holding competition at the end? Title: Re: When was John Barleycorn last played? Post by: Tony H on August 16, 2016, 01:11:45 AM This may help.

"Spot the non-smokers" said Peggy after Simon & Chris out-lasted him. I beat them all one year to my great delight...but then I hadn't sung any of the preceding notes so it was a bit of a cheat. |
