Title: This one will really test you....! Post by: Adam on March 17, 2018, 11:49:37 AM Back in the early 90s, a great band/duo played Cropredy and performed a song which I really enjoyed. Trouble is, I’ve no idea who they were. All I remember was the chorus of the song went “I am ready for the storm, yes I am ready”. They might have been Irish, but I could be wrong. Does anyone out there know, as its bugged me for years and I’d love to hear the song again (rather than the version in my head!)

Dougie played it himself last year, funnily enough. I've tried to do a bit of research on YouTube as well, it's interesting what you find..like this set : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eCH2C1mBgc Title: Re: This one will really test you....!

Is it the same band reformed? Title: Re: This one will really test you....! Post by: davidmjs on March 18, 2018, 12:16:35 PM That Clarion set was very good.
