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.
That is indeed good news. So you won't mind if all 1500 board members take you up on your offer of free beer and intercourse then? So, it's back to our tent for beer and social intercourse, then?

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 --  --with them .Now Budgie or Man at Croppers ? That would turn a few heads . Pastie Boy- it was 1975; I still remember the rain which soaked everyone and everything. Thin Lizzy also played with a very alive, then, Phill Lynott. Steeleye were great and so were 10cc. Not sure how I feel about seeing them now, though, especially if they are little more than a tribute band |

Now Budgie or Man at Croppers ? That would turn a few heads . 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. Jackdaw Jackdaw, that's a bit unfair. I was at Cropredy that year they played- 1994. They weren't that bad, although I agree they didn't go down well. I think it is just their hard psychedelic rock, doesn't really go down well in the middle of an afternoon at a mainly folk festival. Growing up in the South Wales valleys, I have seen Man more times than even Fairport. I have to say their early 70's heydey, when they toured America, supporting certain big West Coast bands are long behind them now. They still exist but with only one member of the 70's band, and even include 2 youngsters who are the sons of the original members! Their gigs are comparitvly rare now, and tend to be in the back rooms of London pubs, as well as in their South Wales hometowns. They have certain things in common with Fairport- both were formed in the late 60's; both have seen innumerable personnel changes and tragedies; both still play original mateiral, both have had individual members achieve fame in their own right, (Fairport's Richard Thompson and Man's Terry Williams, who became Dire Straits drummer). Difference is that Fairport still sell out venues, still produce good albums and have their own popular festival, Man have been known to play to a few dozen people in a Wathamstow pub. Ah, the ways of the world....(and no disrespect to Walthamstow pubs). |

10CC set a new standard for wit in lyrics in the 70s. If they get the sound right and you can hear the lyrics you'll have anything from a wry smile to a guffaw.

I've jumped in at the end of this & as usual haven't read all the posts - but I'd like a bit of upbeat folk to finish off Friday. It's the middle night and usually goes on late after the music finishes ( at least we do !! ) - so something to help keep us awake. peatbog faeries a definite yes - as also Shooglennifty. The reformed Planxty did a great tour last year - although they are all getting on a bit so might not be able to stay awake . John Otway ?? - no not really - then nobody would get any sleep.
And while I'm here - I've done only 5 Cropredies and spread out over 12 years - for a variety of reasons it hasn't been possible to do every year - I usually come across with my brother - so we don't really get to know people when we do come across from N.Ireland. two friendly guys - like real ale & all the usual festival goings on. It would be good to get to know a few of you beforehand so we could say hello at the bar. cead mille failte, green ink and all that..

Just caught up on the 10cc news after getting back from two weeks in Lanzarote, and I think they'll make a cracking headline act on Friday. I agree with Mark that the entire show could turn into a mass karaoke sing-a-long as 10cc have a lot of hit singles to their name, and we're all likely to know a few of them (at least). I'm really looking forward to seeing 10cc live again, whatever the line-up is these days. I wonder if they'll do "The Second Sitting for the Last Supper"? One of my favourites. Cheers Dunc |

Hi all - what a great sociable lot you are !! Thanks for your messages.
We're from Dungannon in the proud county of Tyrone in N.Ireland, although now living close to belfast. Dungannon is famous for the O'Neills, who gave the English a hard time in 1553 or thereabouts - they cut off the head of the Earl of Essex, but we have apologised, and they won't do it again. Also famous as the birthplace of Barry Devlin who was the bass player with Horslips !! No need to apologise for that. ( Wonder iof they would reform for the Friday night headlining slot?? ).
We shall post a photo & some personal details when I can figure out how it works..................................
Anyway - we hope to make some new friends before August - and to be duly present at the bar by mid-afternoon on the Thursday.
