It's all to late to be of any influence, but who would you like to see headline on Friday night at Cropredy this year?
The last act on isn't always really the headliner, as they normally finish with something lively, that a field awash with 6X will appreciate.
So John Martyn is likely to be the most famous turn, but what would you like to see the day finish with?
I'd suggest Bellowhead

Morris on Band in that case - send everyone back dancing,
or get Osibisa back for the same reason.
Even, and I know the tribute band debate rages here but either the Bootleg Beatls or the Counterfeit Stones, but maybe too much with the Quo tribute as well.

I too would like to see that (no surprise there then  ). However, they are playing at the Belladrum “Tartan Heart 2006” Festival near Inverness on the Saturday, so the journey might be a bridge or three too far. Other than Bellowhead I would like to see the Levellers, but perhaps we should not open that can of worms again.  Sandra |

I've been saying Bellowhead to play Cropredy since their very first gig, though this year the logicstics couldn't work. (Mind you, last year Spiers & Boden played twice at Beautiful Days in Devon, with Bellowhead on the Friday and with Eliza and the Ratcatchers on the Sunday and they managed to squeeze in another gig on the Saturday in Glasgow! ) In the absense of Bellowhead, Peatbog Faeries would go down a storm.

I'd like something non folk. Australian Pink Floyd.. something like that. I'd be very happy with Bellowhead though.

The Family Mahone, or Flogging Molly.
Both would have much the same effect.

Why don't we ask Eliza if she's up for it? I would love to see Bellowhead or the levellers would be brilliant, I have missed them by a whisker so many times. Do we reckon Bellowhead are a real possibility?

I would love to see Nickel Creek, that would offset John Martyn perfectly (as much as I would like to see JM we will need a little cheering up).

Family Mahone were on last year, and were very good. Even Justin (who isn't musical at all and just goes for the beer) enjoyed them I'd go for Levellers, Nickel Creek or Hayseed Dixie, all three provide good stompalong stuff! Waterboys? They still going? Runrig!!!Wouldn't it be great if, one year, Levellers and FC did a reciprocal appearing-at-each-others'-festivals kinda thing? Or maybe not, for the people that go to both anyway... Or for Something Completely Different, how about Afrocelt Sound System, or even the absolute originals, Ladysmith Black Mambazo? They've been going nearly as long as FC! |

I'm with you there, Anna. Unfortunately, I've just checked Runrig's site and they're doing a tour of Danish festivals that week. LBM are over here on tour at the moment, posh places like the Albert Hall. Stlil, there's always next year. |

Well, given that headlining Friday is no small pay day, I would think that 600 miles in a day would be no impediment to Bellowhead turning up - I would! |

For a normal sized band maybe. For a band their size it's a little more tricky. You know what it's like with busloads of old ladies at service stations - a nightmare! - well brass players are no different apparently Spare a thought for poor Squeezy too, if he ends up being the driver again. |

How about Iron Maiden since Bruce D is such a big folk fan. Would be great fun!
Other lively suggestions:
Oi Va Voi - a chance to show off the new lineup
Tinariwen - folk rock from desert!
Le Vent Du Nord - lively French Canadian sounds
Ojos de Brujo
