Title: Artists at Cropredy 2017
Post by: Bridgwit (Bridget) on December 20, 2016, 07:26:09 PM
I like researching the line-up for Cropredy - it's my second favourite pre-Cropredy activity (the favourite being testing which ales to take along  ;D )

I've not heard of this bunch so I thought I'd check out their website. I give you "Cats in Space". Blimey! There's a lot of hair  O0 and denim  :-X

(the music is OK - fairly standard rock.)

Flip me! Thought I'd seen everything wild when Hayseed Dixie appeared, but this beats everything...

A stroll into the village to see the fringe seems quite attractive.

I think there will be more fringes on the main stage given that lot!!

Case proven. Guilty as charged. The accused are sentenced to fifty years hard music making.

Good, solid , slightly self parodying, pop rock. Think 1973.

From the e-festivals e-newsletter....they seem to know more than the FC mailer told us?

Quote
There will be two chances to see Fairport Convention co-founder Richard Thompson. He will play a full set in his own right on Friday then join Fairport on Saturday evening.

Saturday's afternoon programme will start with a triple bill of performances from 'early years' former members of Fairport – Ashley Hutchings Morris On, Judy Dyble with Band of Perfect Strangers, and Iain Matthews with Plainsong - as part of the anniversary celebration.


So that's Digance's slot filled if we believe what they say.

Sadly no :( he's not on any of the lists and he hasn't mentioned it on Facebook.

I live in hope...  :-\

Maart on Facebook, October 8th, buried in a thread about it being 41 years since he first encountered the Rising For The Moon lineup at Leeds University :

"And fancy that ! Peggy just called me to invite me to play Cropredy next year :-)"

So yes, I'm sure if he's been invited, there will be some Maart activity. I knew I'd seen something :)

So, what's the expectation for when the remaining artists will be announced ? Does it usually happen at the same time as tickets go back on sale ?

Yes.
