Title: Famous faces in the crowd? Post by: Bingers (Chris) on August 13, 2018, 11:16:18 AM Haven’t seen this usual topic yet for Cropredy 2018 so would be interesting to see if any ‘famous’ people were attracted to come this year. Mind you I can never recognise anybody so they could be standing right next to me and I wouldn’t realise who they were ;D

No. They are all bar stewards to a man. >:( Title: Re: Famous faces in the crowd? Post by: David W on August 13, 2018, 10:21:30 PM Spotted Joe Brown at the bar. Really? Title: Re: Famous faces in the crowd? Post by: Nick Reg on August 13, 2018, 10:34:20 PM Spotted Joe Brown at the bar. Really? Title: Re: Famous faces in the crowd? Post by: Simond11 on August 13, 2018, 11:54:46 PM Im sure I saw Steve Hogarth (Marillion) a few times, he had a long coat on with a brimmed hat, both times backstage . If its not him he had a double !
Title: Re: Famous faces in the crowd? Post by: Tasha on August 14, 2018, 06:23:38 PM End of the Brian Wilson set I turned around to walk back up the field and literally bumped into Planty who had a great big smile on his face and was saying" Nighty night Cropredy!" ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: Famous faces in the crowd? Post by: PeterJ on August 14, 2018, 06:35:33 PM I suppose R. McTell doesn't count. It would be more to the point to say "occasions when I went to Cropredy and didn't see Ralph McTell".
Title: Re: Famous faces in the crowd? Post by: Lubiloo (Lorna) on August 14, 2018, 06:47:47 PM Saw Dave Hill. Apparently Planty was there. Ah ha! The annual Planty urban myth! ;D Edit: I stand corrected now I have read Tasha’s post! ( but usually, every year someone says they heard Planty was there even tho’ noone saw him) ;) Title: Re: Famous faces in the crowd? Post by: Tasha on August 14, 2018, 07:01:01 PM No I saw him alright! No mistake! ;D ;D
someone said they saw johnnie walker of radio fame but I cannot verify! Title: Re: Famous faces in the crowd? Post by: JJ (Joanna) on August 14, 2018, 08:12:54 PM No I saw him alright! No mistake! ;D ;D someone said they saw johnnie walker of radio fame but I cannot verify! Johnny Walker was there cos on his radio show he mentioned being in Peggy's company backstage then heading off to buy a coffee and sugary pancake when he bumped in to Al, shook his hand and left him looking at a sticky palm!!

Post by: steve-n on August 14, 2018, 09:26:57 PM Not exactly "in the crowd" but Gavin Davenport (Morris On) was working in thé cd tent.
Title: Re: Famous faces in the crowd? Post by: Dominic on August 15, 2018, 02:16:53 PM I got Planty to sign my programme in the CD tent. I was completely starstruck!
Title: Re: Famous faces in the crowd? Post by: Lubiloo (Lorna) on August 15, 2018, 08:46:15 PM I got Planty to sign my programme in the CD tent. I was completely starstruck! At my first ever Cropredy, twenty years ago, I was with my mate, Nick, telling him that a guy on stage thought he was Robert Plant. I then looked up, only to see the actual Planty walking ( or should I say floating) by surrounded by beautiful people. Tall, with his flowing locks I literally ‘saw’ it in slow mo with a glow all around him, like a scene from a movie! That was really the only time I had ever been star struck, at that point. Title: Re: Famous faces in the crowd? Post by: bassline (Mike) on August 22, 2018, 08:13:47 PM I bumped into Planty in the record tent too...Peggy had told me earlier he was coming, whilst he was signing his book. I was a bit stalkery and filmed him in there signing somebody's Zep record on my phone. Imagine that - you buy a second hand vinyl copy of Houses Of The Holy, and in walks Robert Plant to sign it and increase it's value instantly.
