Title: The Cropredy Horns
Post by: Nick Reg on April 03, 2023, 02:01:27 PM
THE CROPREDY HORNS. During(I think) the 1991 FC Cropredy set a group of reprobates took to the stage brandishing inflatable saxophones and miming to a backing track apparently produced by Maart and Anto Thistlethwaite. Then on the winter tour following I spied a Cropredy Horns T shirt at the merch desk, which was duly purchased. I have worn it frequently but never to this day have I spotted anyone else with one. The design is mildly phallic and I suspect was done in small quantities for a giggle by someone behind the scenes. Anyone know anything more about it.

I remember the performance (moderately) well.  An absolute mammoth set...4 and a bit hours as I recall.  Do you still have the tee?  Pic?

It's in the wash at the moment. So possibly tomorrow.
