I forgot, a brilliant hour of Loudon Wainwright!
Would love to see him back. |

I spoke to Country Joe at a gig a few months before Cropredy and he was very friendly. The support group were a young local band and he bought their self produced CD.
I always remember seeing him in the early 70's (solo) when the dreaded football songs were rife. He asked for requests and some wag shouted "Blue is the Colour". Joe played the whole song from start to finish and he'd only been in the country a few days!
So he's a glory hunting Chelsea w***a is he, as if I needed another reason for not liking him.  I know what people mean when they say he was part of their yoof and connected to the politics of the time way back, but so was Tariq Ali, and I wouldn't want to see him at Croppers either.  I thought Country Joe was dull, very disappointing, but the Dylan Project the next night were fantastic. Superb! I'm all in favour of Tariq making an appearance... He's currently on a South American trip with a new book, so seeing 20,000 6X'd up Folkies shouting their support for the policies of Hugo Chavez would be a joy to behold  I'm going to tell you a little secret. Just to be kept between us, so don't tell. I'll whisper it... I think the Dylan Project are really awful. There, I've said it. I've been carrying this around for too long... God, I'm so sorry.....  ps 5 letter words beginning with w and ending in a.....?? Give us a clue?  |

OK, you've talked me into it, Tariq Ali for Cropredy 2007! Get the campaign started. |

The cropredy headliners that really delivered for me were in no particular order were (although strictly speaking some of these were not the last act of the evening - does this matter?)
John Martyn - 2006
Lazarus - 2006
The Richard Thompson Big Band - from way back when - Hand of kindness period
The Home Service - 1985 & 1982
The Battlefield Band - 1984
Feast of Fiddles - 2006
Dick Vaughan
Albion Band - sometime in the early 80's - could be the same year of the aforementioned Thompson Gig.
I choose not to dwell on the worst acts at cropredy.

I'd forgotten them...they were great! My first Cropredy...done on a wing and a prayer...hardly ate anything...although I just had enough cash (7 quid if I remember correctly) to buy a copy of the Boot on the last day... |

Exactly. Maybe Simon can explain what the John Martyn performance was all about. |

Well, I'm not sure it had to be about anything. But, be assured, Albie, it was awesome. |
