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
Ah ha...international acts make an appearance...! I say : Les Yeux Noirs (not done justice on Celtic Connections coverage) lively central Europen gypsy/klezmer stuff with brass and hammered dulcimers...  Cheers Fi |

please.
Have to go along with you on that suggestion, Andy. I know he is already confirmed for a some festivals in France in the summer and is pencilled in for at least one UK festival in July, so presumably he and the band are doing the summer festivals this year. Sandra |

Percy
please.
And I'd second that too. He and his band were one of the best gigs I have seen at a local university couple of years back- at the time of his "Dreamland" album. One of those old rock superstars who obviously still enjoys touring smaller venues, and doesn't seem too bothered about the money, (mind you, he will have plenty of that already).Can't imagine Mick Jagger wanting to do a tour of local colleges and small theatres. He is also known to be an old friend of Peggy's and the rest of FC, is a frequent if sometimes anonymous visitor to Cropredy, and doesn't live too far away. Interestingly, a lot of the musical roots and inspiration, of that "other band" he fronted in the 70's, came from a very English folk tradition- witness his collaboration with a certain Sandy Denny on one of their albums. |

Have seen Hunter and Ralphs together twice in the last couple of years. Absolute magic. Hunter is one of those very few people who can generate an electric atmosphere - something special. I just cant see Bellowhead doing that somehow.

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... Hit the nail firmly on the head there,..... |

I would like to see Percy there once again. Especially as there was a rumour he was suppposed to be playing 2004.
However, the wonderful Eric Bogle is over from Aus then, and according to his website, after playing Lochinver Village Hall on the 7th August, is free until the 15th when he plays Lossiemouth.........
Hmmmmmmmmm - I wonder.....
However, 2 Scottish Singer/Songwriters in quick succession may be a bit too much for some - however different they may be!!!

re thinking international, how about Tri Yann? Or La Bottine Souriante, who everyone says are fantastic. Or with a Fairport connection, Dan Ar Braz et l'Heritage des Celtes. But maybe the stage wouldn't be big enough?!

Don't forget, this is Friday night, so it would have to be a real crowd puller to make it worth Fairport's while. Based on recent news, think big, but not as big as before  |

Waterboys? They still going?
Anyone else think this is a strange comment to make when discussing a festival run by a band nearly 40 years old? |

I don't think Anna was being bitchy, Martin, it does read a bit like that though.
They are still going, and going quite well at the moment. Their recent live album's great - had it on yesterday in fact - and they're about to release a 2CD reissue of 'Fisherman's Blues', featuring loads of bonus tracks...and even some which aren't on the bootlegs from the sessions. The current sound is quite 'Fisherman's Blues'-ish, with Steve Wickham back on the fiddle so they'd fit in well musically, but I've mentioned them a few times in the past and Peggy's not keen.

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  That was the year before last so I reckon they're ripe for another slot. I don't think you could ever get bored of seeing them live. HAYSEED DIXIE Now I want you all to place an index finger on the screen and really focus...picture them on stage...feel the bassline of Ace of Spades thrumming through your feet...smell the sweaty moshers. Come on people, let's make it happen Uri Geller style. |

Hit the nail firmly on the head there,..... Beautiful Days is a very different festival to Cropredy and it would work quite well to have both bands playing both places. At BD Levellers usually finish off the Sunday so I would put Fairport on as Saturday headliner in the Big Top which would be a totally different atmosphere to Cropredy. Then at Cropredy I'd have Levellers on Friday in their Acoustic guise, again different to their BD set-up. I'd go to both with that line-up. Mind you I'd go to both anyway Cheers Nick |
