We have just returned home from the concert, it was difficult travelling all the 50 yds home.
The church was a wonderfull setting, and the set they performed did it justice.
The, FAIRPORT CONVENTION FESTIVAL BELL is cooling down in Whitechapel.
I feel this is a fitting way to honour the band by Cropredy.
They are cast in bronze , to play tunes for hundreds of years in Cropredy.
They demonstrated how this is best performed, thank you.
Unfortunately the Red Lion was closed for a private Do.
It will be open though when Lazarus are here on the 10th of Dec, in the village hall,

I think this shall be the most memorable Fairport concert that I will have ever been to, t'was truely surreal to see the chaps performing in such a beautifull little church whilst being able to sup a pint of Hookie. A fantastic set, a little different to the one we saw a couple of weeks ago, but the sound was so rich. It bought a lump to my throat to hear Simon explain how the band felt so proud to be part of this performance to help fund the casting of the Fairport festival bell which would still be there in hundreds of years time with the Fairport name on it. I felt proud to be in the audience, knowing that my children would be able to go back to Cropredy when they are older and us lot long gone, and tell the story of how they were there for that fund raising concert. Though of course we are all part of this history by attending the festivals. The atmosphere was warm and cosy with lots of jokes and much fun. Jack fell asleep as usual, but as Simon said, at least he caught 70% of the show this time! It was great to meet up with Diane, I would have loved to have talked to Jude but every time I looked she was always busy talking to someone Was good to meet Martin who got the boys involved with helping the chaps pack up their gear, Jack very proudly carried Gerry's rainstick out to his car. Thankfully Martin gave us a lift back to our B&B at Williamscote, if he hadn't I don't know how we'd have got back as the road was extremeley flooded. This morning we took a walk around the village, some of the flooding had sub-sided but field 4 looks more like a swimming pool than a field. i took some photos which I shall try to put up later.  |

It was a really lovely concert wasn't it? I am sorry to have missed speaking to people, but it was pretty crowded wasn't it? Lovely evening all round |

It was a really special evening - quite surreal at times - and had some moments that will stick in my mind for a long time. As Ric and Simon finished playing 'Summertime' the bell/clock rang for 10.00pm. excellent timing. Seeing the chaps playing framed by the beautiful stonework was amazing. Gerry's percussion was sensitive and perfect for the evening. The atmosphere was good too and gave an intimate feel to the gig.The sound was excellent from where I was sitting - very rich - and it felt like I was surrounded in sound. It's quite amazing to think that the bell - which was cast on Friday - could be there, as Simon said, in 300 years commemorating the band and the festival. There's not many artistes that can top that! A memorable concert for so many reasons and I am proud to have been there. It was good to see Jude there..........didn't get to say 'hello' though ...and Angela, Dennis and Jack and Martin too I was a bit shocked by the flood that had appeared the other side of the bridge during the evening. Angela et al, hope you got back with dry feet - I daren't turn round and come back for you as the car only just made it through once  |

Angela and Delfini have summed up this very special evening perfectly, it was a wonderfully joyous event enjoyed by all those lucky enough to be present.
Angela said it brought a lump to her throat when Simon was talking about the bell, Simon himself appeared visible moved as the realization seemed to sink in as to the enormity of the honour that the Cropredy community and St. Mary's church has bestowed on Fairport Convention. To think that the Fairport Festival bell will still be be ringing out over Cropredy village and it's surrounding fields in 300 years time.
It was lovely to meet up with Jude and Boatboy in the Brasenose before the gig, Jude almost skipped into the pub such has been her speedy recovery.
