There's a nice half page interview with Peggy in this month's Classic Rock magazine (March 2009 with Axl Rose on the cover) Together with talking about the tour he confirms that the band are playing at Glastonbury this year and also, regarding Cropredy, that there is "someone very exciting lined up to top the bill on August 13th". He confirms that the band have been after HIM for a few years and that finally his schedule coincides with Cropredy. Any educated guesses?!

Sounds like James Taylor to me. I think it has he who they had been after for year. That should be good it is true. Is that FC's first trip back to Glasto since '71?

1983? They were on a sunday afternoon bill with John Martyn, I think. It's all a bit hazy now...

JT was on the BBC yesterday (Andrew Marr show?) and Mike said "Wouldn't it be brilliant if he was at Cropredy" Oh yes! Please say it's him

FC have been hoping to get James Taylor to appear at Cropredy for ages haven't they? Let's hope they have succeeded for 2009.

James Taylor has been talking/performing on Radio 2 this morning, and is gigging in the UK in early July. I suppose he might come back again in August! Or perhaps he could enjoy a month's holiday here!!

Yes, reading this thread it's as if James Taylor is officially booked to play now. From memory Peggy was also quoted saying -a long time ago, mind- that alongside James Taylor, Steve Winwood was very high up the wish list. But then, it can be anyone. We'll see.

JT looks a lot like Robert Duvall these days. Saw him in California in 2002. He was good, if unexciting.

You're right of course! Steve Winwood a lot higher up my list than JT....would love to see that....

And Mr Winwood lives a lot nearer than JT. Somewhere in the Hereford/Worcs/Warks area I think. I'd love to hear "Keep On Runnin" at Cropredy!
