Don't we all find the field beneath us?? Blackmore's Night not convinced, is there really a place for old blokes with silly hats at Cropredy   Now if it was a reformation of Rainbow that would be a different thing altogether ...I trusy you mean that magnificent combo of Geoffrey, Bungle , George and Zippy and not those childish pranksters Bonnet, Dio and Joe Lynn Turner etc....  |

Forgive me if they"ve already been mentioned, or maybe folks don't like them much, I do and that is Altan. I suppose it would have been better prior to 94? when Frankie Kennedy was alive, but last I saw thew a few years ago they were still quite excellent although the crowd was a bit studious when clearly half of what they play is dance music. I don't think that would be the reaction in the fields at Cropredy. They may well have played it before I dunno.

Don't think Altan have ever played Cropredy before; I saw them at Cambridge Folk Festival couple of years back, and yes they were excellent. I still am speculating that Percy might do it, especially as the sister of his former drummer is in the line-up over the weekend.

I watched Bellowhead as the closing act at Cambridge last year. No-one could be better than that.

Not a hope. Nor of Kate Bush.

Actually I'd like to see a slot for June Tabor with Andy Cutting et al... why not before John Martyn? I'm a huge fan of hers, but whether you are or not, you cant knock her contribution to folk music. (yes I know i shouldn't have said that as some bright spark will do exactly that... people... restrain yourselves!!!)Issy |

It really was very wet and very muddy, wasn't it? Still, damn good music (apart from Talk Talk).

Has Cropredy ever had a jazz act? Surely someone in their ranks is a fan if not all. There again maybe not. Had in mind one of the most important voices of the past fifteen years and one of the best bass players of the past 35 dating back to MD's Bitches Brew band and that would be England's own Dave Holland. Also wonder if Minnesota's wonderful Boiled in Lead (Celtic, Folk, Metal, Thrash, Jazz) have ever played at this event. Todd Menton, the singer recently rejoined after 10 or 15 years, a MAJOR plus. If you've not heard of them Old Lead and from the Ladle to the Grave would be good places to start. Fans of Fairport, Steeleye and Tull will likely be intrigued. Their version of Twa Corbies is particularly evil.
