So, it's back to our tent for beer and social intercourse, then?

I'm hugely disappointed and genuinely don't follow the logic. This is a folk/rock festival, isn't it - not a student ball?

Also hugely disappointed, and really not even vaguely interested in the remnants of 10CC.  Oh dear..   

 Sad     Hope there'll be something on at the pub then..?

After reflection, I think this booking is a genuine mistake, but I guess we'll see how it works out.

Much the same views; the 1970s for me were either Pink Floyd or folk rock. I always boxed 10cc etc along with 60's  stuff like the Hollies (could be worse, they are on tour at the moment).

Having said that, when there have been bands in the past in which I was not interested, I have never been at a loss to know what to do at Cropredy. I never look on it as being 'getting my money's worth'. See you in the pub, Issy  Smiley

It's more or less a tribute band. Thiis is disappointing - not that I mind tribute bands - who cannot love Aussie Pink Floyd or Dylan Project? But a 10cc tribute band?
I saw 10cc at Reading many moons ago and disliked them then. They played under little individual arches Spinal Tap style. Might stay here and watch The Buzzcocks.

I am not too upset by 10cc.

 They will provide an aural backdrop to a legendary attempt to drink the bar dry on Friday night. I shall just treat them as I would a juke box in a pub - but with the added bonus that I will know many of the songs. It could even become a mass karaoke session. How funny would that be after umpteen pints of ale?

So see you with your Fez and/or tiara at the bar Grin

look, dont lets go there again - 'what is folk/rock' anyway.
yup, 10cc will be a nice blast from the past, if they pull it off.
and rubber bullets is quality.

Shame on you lot: 10cc were great FUN in the 70s and probably still are now - my vinyl still comes out now an' then when I feel like a bop and a laugh.
In my opinion some of the best un-folky sets were the likes of Roy Wood after all. I think they could be just the thing for that late spot when my brain is usually a little beyond subtlety.

A-hem - 10cc last time I saw them was at Cardiff Castle with Steeleye Span ,Man -and Budgie .Mid seventies if not mistaken .  Tipped it down with rain that day. It would be nice to see them again but -----I`m Not In Love -- Roll Eyes Wink--with them .Now Budgie  or Man at Croppers  ? That would turn a few heads .  Fez

My Sindy dolls were great fun in the 70s... I rarely feel the need to dust 'em off these days, though.


It just seems something of a wasted opportunity, that's all.  Sad

Glen Tilbrook, John Martyn, Steeleye Span and now 10cc  Fez What a fab festival line-up  Smiley It's Fairport's Cropredy Convention and therefore the musical genre of the bands who are booked to appear is entirely at the discretion of the organisers who select them.

If you don't like the line-up..................tough. Grin There's plenty to amuse and entertain throughout the festival field and in the village beyond.... AND there is a world outside the tiny confines of this north Oxfordshire haven .............

Cropredy 2018

Since the festival went three days the Friday night headliners have been:

2000 -Priory of Brion (Percy and some mates kbnocking out cover versions - quality playing but not exactly groundbreaking)

2001 - De Danann (I don;t think these guys actually stood up during their headluine set - dull and worthy)

2002 - FC oldies set

2003 - Procul Harem (living off past glories)

2004 - Tull (love 'em or oloathe 'em)

2005 - Dylans, following RT  (either a great homage to his Bobness or another tribute band, take yer choice)

and now for 2006 we have a version of 10cc

I would say the choice fits in pretty well with what has gone before and I'm looking forward to it, and I find myself agreeing with Mark that we could be in for a 20,000 strong drnken karoke (Big Boys Don't Cry ...)

Man played a few years back - I don't think they won many fans that day. My selection for worst ever band to grace the field.

It's Fairport's Cropredy Convention...


Yee-eesssss.... but they're not going to be the only ones there, are they?

Don't get me wrong - I like listening to any music in a field with beer and chums, me.

And Mrs Skirky has taught me all about the circle of concern/circle of influence, so you'll not catch me whingeing about stuff I can't influence.

I just want to up my post count, frankly.

well at the end of the day, we dont have to go......
and the fact that we all go regardless just makes fairport's life that much easier - they could book steps and we'd still all be there.
go figure.
personally, i just go for digence.
