Mr Bridgwit's suggestion of Kiss came from me playing God Gave Rock'n'Roll To You in the car the other day. He thought it was Kiss, but it was the original (and best) and I suggested it would be a cracking singalong at the end of a Cropredy day. So, I would like to suggest Russ Ballard with Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone. The latter two tour anyway with a band so it would just be a simple case of getting Russ to join them.... Couple of choruses of Hold Your Head Up, Woman and I would believe in miracles  Can we have people who are not 108! (well 70!) We do, but some of us were too young (  )to see these bands in their heyday so to see them now sort of makes up for it. Plus I think a bit of nostalgia at Cropredy is nice - makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.  |

Yeah, but nostalgia ain't what it used to be... I see no-one's yet suggested Robert Zimmerman... Elvis Costello Nick Lowe Dave Edmunds (even a Rockpile reunion?) |

Just been listening to Passenger. He'd be good.
I said that! But you have to catch these trendy types while they are still trendy. Sort of. And while they're beautiful? lol |

Those two could do a side project about charm, good manners and respect for the audience. |

Skinny Leicester? Is that a tribute town? Take a bow, MickF and Jim. Genii or whatever the plural of genius is. I'll stick my vote in for Skinny Lister as well. Oh blimey, that would be a turn. I'd go with Human League too, I've seen and heard them live but from a distance and they held the crowd well, not just the hits but some of the lesser known tracks too. |

Show Of Hands - again, been too long (2004)
Actually, the last time Show of Hands played Cropredy was in 2007, and a cracking set it was too, just before Richard Thompson if I remember correctly. Nonetheless, it certainly has been too long since they last played Cropredy: Surely they're overdue a reappearance by now? Steve Knightley made a humorous comment on one of their recent standing tours about being invited back to every festival except Cropredy! Given how much I and the rest of our group enjoyed the impromptu appearance of Jasper Carrott for a 20 minute stint before Fairport in 2013, something I would really like to see is a half-hour slot for a different stand up comedian each year, just before Fairport on the Saturday night. The rut of miserable sounding singer-guitarists (personal opinion, of course!) that we seem to have become mired in for the pre-Fairport slot in recent years are a real downer after we've nipped back to the field from the frivolities of Leatherat down the village. Could do with something more upbeat! Speaking of which, if we could get Bob Fox and Billy Mitchell back for that pre-Fairport slot, that'd be brilliant. Sticking with my native North East England, it'd also be good to see Jez Lowe, preferably with the Bad Pennies, back up on that stage again. Another vote from me for Maart Allcock and Huw Williams. Steve Tilston, too. Actually, if we could go back to Cropredy being more of a "Fairport and friends" weekend in the country then I would be as happy as can be. I know it's not relevant now, but for the short time that they were with us I thought that the "New" Albion Band would have been an absolutely shoe-in for Cropredy. I was surprised when they never found their way onto the bill. |

Funny isn't it? I much prefer the festival now it's not just a "Fairport and Friends" event. I accept I'm a bit of Johnny-come-lately, but I find it far more diverse and entertaining now. I love that we get Alice Cooper, the Buzzcocks, Quo, Steve Hackett, Bellowhead, Seth Lakeman to name but a few.
I like the way it's going. Just so long as we don't get any X-Factor winners!

I agree on both counts! Now, is there any chance of getting Kate Bush on for 2015?  |
